I'd probably rather see freaking Wilson Betemit signed.<br /><br />Smoak blows(seewhatIdidthere?!lulzehhrmageeerd!!!). Yeah, he had a good year vs. righties last season. Careerwise he's pretty much inept from both sides of the plate. Don't see him magically turning in to something he's not now. <br /><br />I honestly just want them to go with Lambo at this point. He's "free", he's only 24, he's a form high pedigree player and I doubt he'd be much worse, if at all, than any of those guys at the plate. Lind is probably the "safer" bet as a hitter(maybe), but he's just as big of a disaster in the field as Lambo might be and, more importantly, he'd cost something to acquire.<br /><br />I hope they just stick with what they have, unless they're able to get Toronto or the Mets to give up Lind or Davis(who I also don't care for much, but I guess I'd take a flier at my price) for a bag of magic beans.<br /><br />They should've went harder for Abreu.
