Not that I want him starting in LF long-term, but he's fully capable of playing it well.

I have no doubt he could play it. My issue comes from the fact that he's a plus defender, and it's much more important to have a good defensive 2nd baseman or 3rd baseman than left-fielder. Hell we've been throwing Morse out there lately and he has pretty much zero mobility. Plus you can get away with his limited offense as a 2nd or 3rd baseman, but you really should have a better hitter in LF. I don't mind the idea of trying Dietrich out there, but let's face it, we won't see Dietrich as an every day player under this current FO regime.

I'm not saying this is a good way, but a way around it.
I suspect they'd sign a good 4th OF and roll with a 3-4 man 1B/LF platoon.
Also, they could acquire a young OF through these moves and have him be presumably ready summer 2016.
They really just need to shed salary, get a young SP, and get a longterm 3B. If they trade Ozuna, add in another young OF.
I'm fine with whatever, as long as it nets the above and clears payroll for a real SP next year.

Carrasco or Salazar would also be amazing. I can't fathom they could net them, but maybe the tribe is crazy.

Morse currently has a .592 OPS. That number probably doesn't completely show his current abilities, but it's not like his numbers are down just a little bit, he's fallen off a fucking cliff this year. If you can get anybody to take on his salary at this point, it'd probably be worth it.

It's amazing how similar McGehee and Morse's numbers are.
