Question, what about, Carlos Gonzalez , I know his stats were bad last season but could be a rebound year. Jon Jay seems like he could help out. Our out field eeds help ever where.

Be weary of position players playing in Colorado. The road numbers for Gonzales compared to home are like day and night. He's probably looking to get 15+ a season..

I might grab Colby Rasmus for a cheaper 1 year deal.. Decent enough on defense and can hit a bit.
