Hi guys, first time poster. I think this would be a fantastic idea. He was one of the ten best defensive outfielders in all of baseball last season (as measured by several advanced fielding metrics) and his bat would be more valuable in center. I think the negative opinions of him are clouded by his somewhat disappointing performance when in Chicago, but since then he has become a much more patient hitter and has gotten outfield tutoring from Andruw Jones. He arguably should still be starting in the outfield for the Nats over Willingham, Dunn, and Milledge, his defense is that good. He would be a steal in my opinion.
