This. So much this. Once they traded for Alonso, the writing was on the wall for Palka. So be it. Quit costing the team runs with a shitty RF. Jay doesn't help either, because he doesn't have a RF arm. I hate saying this, but if they didn't have a plan for RF they should've brought Avi back.
They need someone that can play passable D in RF and has a RF arm. If they don't have that, they're going to cost the pitching staff runs, which will make their pitching staff look worse than it is. They should have signed CarGo or Jones.
