The more I watch Ford, the more I like his short-to-the-ball stroke.  He doesn't have Boomstick bat speed, but he's quick enough to succeed and his picky eye means that the's swinging at pitches he can handle.

And I can't see at least one rebuilding team, Miami, for example, not picking him up if we waive him. 

Healy (who was a good addition) hits RHP to a .760 tune (.877 vL).  In '16, with PA's split between AA/AAA he hit .326-.382-.558, with 14 HR's in 374 PA's.  In a '17 AA/AAA split Ford was .270-.404-.471 in 532 PAs.  Oh, 20 HR's.

I just don't see where he fits in with us, minus a trade somewhere.
