24yo Cuban CF with a glove and maybe a bat.  He's said to be close to ready and it seems that's mostly in the hitting department that he could use work.   Ben Badler likened him to Jackie Bradley only RH (Pre-breakout)due to exceptional fielding/arm and speed but questionable bat.   The "close"to me in this case means he's probably slated for AA or AAA to start but may be ready enough when needed.  If we're going to struggle through a black hole hitter at CF this one might offer more potential future production.

In the world that you go in to 2017 with Boog having locked down CF (or even Martin rebounding to look great in CF and return and Boog playing LF) who else is returning for RF or 4th?  Heredia could likely fill one of those at least decently.  Right now profiling as at least a useful 4th OF for 2017 may be a good % chance.  Might have trouble signing him to 4th OF money though.

I'm just not too keen on most of what's available otherwise.   Will Venable maybe?  Span is off the board (as you surely know) but his fielding hadn't been good recently anyway.  I miss the Winn, Cameron, Ichiro defensive outfield of early Safeco.  Too bad we didn't trade McLendon for a CF to put in a corner.
