He’s old, bad, and cheap.  Not surprising.

Apparently Heyman is still on Boras’s payroll to sell even his crappiest of free agents.

Conforto is a washed player.  He has been for past many years.......let Baldwin play instead of bringing in crap like conforto

Fully agree. Baldwin and his HR power needs to be a full time OF. Speed and power has always been a great combination . Throw away all your gloves except for 1 and let your speed and some coaching turn you into an above avg. OF. 

You're drafting enough SS that one of them will fail enough to be a jack of all trades type. Developing a good utility player is not nearly as important as finding a switch hitting power and speed starting  OF from the 12th round.

He’s always been on Heyman’s payroll.  Like some of Jon’s posts look like copy & paste directly from Boras.

I will say this…Conforto (or someone like him) makes a lot more sense if you are trading Robert and moving Baldwin to CF.

It will start to get overcrowded with guys who should be in the lineup every day, Beni and the whatever position player additions are made. It already is a bit crowded.

True, but Conforto is still not the guy you want in that scenario.  He hasn’t been good in years and he’s just another year older.  We need — “or someone like him that’s younger.”

At this point, I'm ready to roll the dice on a platoon of Pereira and Kelenic/Peters/Harris/Conner/Nishida

I can’t argue.  At least Kelenic has youth on his side.  I don’t see Conforto magically getting better or staying healthy.  If we aren’t necessarily expecting to make the postseason, see what some outfielders can do that aren’t nearing retirement.
