Idea about DH

I was thinking today about what to do about the DH position. The hole in RF gets a lot of talk but I think a bigger issue is DH. Hinske/Gross aren't world killers but if we had a solid DH we could get by Floyd, Gomes, Aybar not really getting it done. I would idealy like to see us go out and get a guy like Adam Dunn or Holliday (one of the knocks is he can't play RF, but with Holliday in the line-up I think we could start Gross or stick with the Hinske to Gross late move)

 

I was trying to figure out ideas inside the organization (Dan Johnson, Ruggiano, Guzman) but than when Riggans hit the RBI single today I thought, why not send Brignac back to AAA and call up Mike Defilice (when Bartlett comes back send Gomes or Zobrist down). This would allow us to use Riggans/Navi as the DH and still have a backup catcher. This also works out for Durham as with Jaso getting called up they would have 4 catchers (Gimenez, Jaso, MD, and Josh Johnson)

 

Riggans definately wouldn't be the overall awnser to our hitting problems but I think he could provide a bit of a spark.
