Yes, I am. He has to be better than Osuna or Jaso out there. I will assume any veteran outfielder would be better than those two in the field. Ichiro has made five errors since 2013. Of course, that doesn't include bad routes, dumb throws.

Did you know Jaso has never made an "error" in the outfield? Another example of how bad defensive stats can be and when figuring out WAR.

I know what you're saying, but I don't know that Ichiro should be the target. If his hitting is down I think the D might be too. His Farewell Tour is a cool story but I don't know that he'd help us.

I agree. Just looking at cheap (money, trade return) options that can catch a fly ball.

I would see what Bourn has left. He is still running well. So, I assume he can still play CF.
