The Answer To Our CF Woes?

by floridaroar on Mar 20, 2008 6:45 PM EDT

There's been a lot of talk lately about dealing one of our pitchers to get a backup Center Fielder and Left-Handed Bat. What if you get fill that need cheaply and without losing a pitcher in trade?

What about Steve Finley?

The Negatives:

43 years old to be exact.

Can he hit?

The Positives:

Even at his age he is still an above average defender at a position of need.

He'll come cheap.

He bats lefty.

He's a good veteran presence.

I heard Willie Mays is a FA.

Outs per Swing is speculating that the Rays may wait for teams to release players whose options are up and do not make the roster. He lists quite a few possibilities, and although I find it hard to believe that Ankiel or Werth will be released, some others on his list are possibilities. He seems to like Delwyn Young, but I have read that his defense is so awful that he could not be used even as a part-time outfielder.
