Geeze.. how can someone possibly know if Rajai and a career minor leaguer will be an improvement over Jackson in center? That's just an uninformed statement. Davis is not a good defender. He's around average. Davis can only hit LHP consistently and we dont even know if Carrera will hit anyone at all. Based on his MLB numbers, he won't. We gave up Jackson for Price.. Im great with that, but people need to stop with thinking we got better in every part of every trade we make. Our rotation was bolstered, and our offense/defense took a small hit. Trading Jackson and calling up Zeke Carrera is not an upgrade in CF.
Here is my take on it. I have been told that Carrera is a better defensive CF than AJ. So, when / if Dirks gets back they will be more flexible as far as L/R matchups. Dirks, Carrera & JD vs. RH pitching (best defensive OF) and the 3 RH bats vs. LH pitching (Bad defensive OF)
