Austin Kearns sent to AAA

He's slumping, he's been hurt in the past and his OPS has been dropping yearly. Is this the LF we've been looking for and what would it take to get him if he's not just another player that had a good rookie season and never perfroms near that level again. We already have a LF'er like that but seems to me the upside on Kearns is better than that of Hollandsworth, who I prefer off the bench. I'm interested in your thoughts, especially since Cincy seems to have a logjam in the outfield anyway and could be selling, cheap. Or....do we already have a better player in Dubois if he can just start taking some walks like he did in the minors?

Kearns
isn't really a solution for this year.  He's a good young talent, but he's got some stuff to work out before he can contribute.  I don't think he's a good stretch drive pickup.

Now if I ran the Brewers, I'd be all over him.  I don't think he'd be any better than Dubois this season.

He wouldn't replace anyone in the Brewers lineup
either, probably.  He'd probably be better than our two headed monster in left defensively at the least.
Embrace the Neifi!
