Langerhans isn't the most exciting move, but hes a nice short-term stop gap until Mike Saunders is ready and he has a little upside. The fact that he costed us NOTHING is pretty nice.
I've got to admit I am a little concerned about the NL to AL conversion, but I think Langerhans is a much better hitter than a guy like Cedeno (who I was NEVER high on).
Unlike Reed, Langerhans BBs a LOT more (much better O-Swing%), makes less contact, and has more power. I think Reed is a good comp for him defensively, but hes a better hitter than Jeremy Reed.
Ya, I would have prefferred a guy like Gabe Gross who can give you a plus bat in addition to the plus D, but this is a nice short-term move for the Ms if they didn't want to pay ANYthing. Langerhans is also going to be a sweet #4 outfielder for the next couple years as well.
