Locastro would've made that catch. David is an average OF. They should trade him. I love the guy and the leadership he brings. But his bat has declined and fielding is not his strongest asset.
Peralta was our only dependable clutch hitter.
Now Marte and Escobar fill that role.
And the Freight Train spends a lot of time on
the side rail out of service.
Said to say, but I agree. Peralta would be a
good DH in the American League.
But Locastro is not the answer in LF. It is a
power position. If Dyson is moved, Locastro
would be a good replacement at leadoff and
Center Field.
If Tomas has gotten his act together, and
especially with his overwhelming salary on
the books, he'd be a candidate for LF.
