You're not talking about replacing a decent player with a star... you're talking about putting a tourniquet on a 50-OPS+ position...
In my mind, it's possible Olivo hits .210 / .241 / .387 here. If he does, how do we look at it then?
We look at it as what it is: adding +20 runs offensively and +10 defensively :- )
Saunders hit .211/.295/.367, equating to a 86 OPS here; Gutierrez hit .245/.303/.363 for an 87 OPS.
Olivo's going to hit at least that, thereby fixing the -30 runs (below league) that we got from catcher last year.
Basic problem is that ---- > it hasn't hit anybody, just how tough the C position was last year. if we'd replaced our SS's with an 85-OPS glove man, we'd all be happy about the 2-3 wins added, right?
