Luke Scott, arb eligible but not a fit with the Os, is apparently now also being considered as a Branyan-alternative, along with LaRoche.
I have to say, he looks like a cost-effective 25 doubles, 20 dingers, 50 walks. Supposedly he's willing to play 1B (had a 10-game trial there in 09) or continue in LF, which would offer a better flex-spot roster construction than Branyan or LaRoche.
I "get" stars & scrubs, but Z could be putting together an interesting fleet of patient, versatile Civics. A Scott-Cammy-Saunders-Tui[-eventually Ackley] roster could come at you from a lot of different angles. If the only S&S alternative is to overpay Bay in money and years, I'm not sure if patient, decent-slugging, defensively versatile Civics is not the better temporary course.
