I have no concern about adding a McGehee beyond these two points:
1. He riding the crest of a .395 PAPIP vs. RHP! No wonder he has so many pink dots! If that falls to a "pedestrian" .335, what happens to McGehee's numbers? I don't know...but he's probably cheap enough to find out.
2. He plays exactly where? In his whole MLB career (including Japan) he's played exactly 1 game in the OF, that was in .2009. He has never played a MiLB game out there. But as a platooning on base machine at DH, well he would be interesting. Bat him lead-off against RHP. Then platoon him with Montero, our resident red-headed step-child. That would be a decent combo, way better than Hart and more Hart. In that role, you could use him to spell Seager and LoMo, as well. This would be a good move...but only a complementary one. Also, bring up Kelly to play for Chavez and your team OBP gets much healthier pretty darn fast. Matt's got that right.
