The point about 'similar skills to Cano' was a showstopper.  Like Bat571's (awesome) eye roll about baseball men having to deal with close quarters.
Feel free to put up articles with "Safeco Hang Time Axioms" for all 750 major league players.  You may start with each Mariner.   We can presume that Kyle Seager's home performance is reflected in chartreuse and pink?

Would also like to know your projected OBP for him as a Mariner, this year and next.  If McGehee really going to OBP .370+, even here, then he could play LF without power ... issue is that if he drops a notch or two, here's another 100 OPS+ corner OF...
Zobrist, for me, is an exception to the "if he drops one notch" problem because Zobrist's slash line is proven stable in a court of law ... it doesn't matter what I believe, Counselor, it matters what I can prove ... ;- )
But if McGehee's OBP holds up, he becomes quite the Zobrist alternative...  even Dr. "Stars & Scrubs" Detecto prefers a high OBP-McGehee to Zobrist with cost associated...

The Cecil Fielder NPB logic itself -- learn to let the ball get deep; get a great look at it before you pull the trigger -- this juror finds that logic 100% convincing in general, and in McGehee's specific case.  Whether there is horsepower leakage to the back wheels somewhere in the projection -- something we're missing -- that's tougher, but it's the kind of logic *I* would bet on as a GM.
McGehee as a second bat in, after Stanton or Gehrig or somebody, would be pretty blinkin' cool.  We could admire every Mojician Chartreuse Dot in the postgames as they occurred.
