Here's my Souza interest:
!e have beaucoup MIF's and nobody immediately ready to play COF. Washington needs one and we need theother.
Souza is playing in a pitcher'sleague and is the best AAA hitter right now, including the PCL.  He's the kind of guy who you would move up immediately if he were in Tacoma. 
Having Franklin right now doesus no good, unless we actually do trade him.  Getting Souza does not eat up salary space, which allows us to get a COF over the winter, if we wish.
He's no worse than a 4th OF and may be better.  He plays all three positions.  Doesn't have Split issues. 
And he (repeating myself) answers a huge need!
Get him.
Be happy.
If we could get Rios for Smoak, would that be any better, really? Well it probably would, but the odds arent that much beter that Rios hits for 50 games than Souza does.  And Rios is a pure rent-a-bat situation.  Hes gone after the year. 
Is Souza worse than Willingham or Viciedo?  Don't know.  He could be better right now.
But we should have made the move 25 games ago.
