Plus with that offense at full health, you don’t need an outfielder to do much in terms of power numbers, just get good at bats, and find ways to get on base. Quintan can do that.

Kelly is a free agent and they are not bringing him back. Since Berry & Boesch are lefties, they would be replaced w/ Garcia & Castellanos. Worth and Dirks as the righty combo would be weak, though, so they want to replace Worth — and ideally w/ someone better than Dirks (so he becomes the back-up righty, since they aren’t sure if he’s an every day player). Dirks hit .322 w/ an OPS of .702 this season. Roberts hit .235 w/ an OPS of .656. So, I’m not thinking that’s the guy.

He’s a great Swiss army knife, far better than Kelly and we can’t use Boesch…he could platoon with Ben Francisco in TB in the newly vacated LF…. Roberts + Berry >>>>>>>>Worth+Kelly
