If Ron Kittle, Ralph Garr and Juan Pierre could play LF I’m sure Sosa could.Pierre was much better in CF.But that arm. Scotty Pods like.You're also forgetting Dayan and Josh Fields. Ron LeFlore.Lonnie Smith and some Rangers like Kevin Reimer and Incaviglia were the worst I can personally remember at that spot.

J-Ram's power seemingly came out of no where. Sammy "Sosa" Antonacci might be a similar case, he showed a bit of it this spring.

Sammy "Sosa" Antonacci might be a similar case, he showed a bit of it this spring.More compelling that he's found that power almost exclusively on pulled balls in the air. If he can get to league avg max EV's, with his contact and bat to ball skills he could absolutely become someone like him. His spring results were a big step up (from bottom 5% to the 30-35th%) but he still needs to add more strength and show it over extended period. I'm incredibly bullish.

Like I want to see Antonacci as much as anyone, but this would read of desperation to burn a year of team control.

That’s why I question this entire thread, outside of common sense reasons why it wouldn’t make sense (e.g., this team is going to lose 100+ games).
