Cactusguy21 Joined: 07/25/2017 Posts: 815 Presque Isle Vikings III.4 | I found several good options on waivers this year for the role of backup OF and thought this would be a good opportunity to replace 31yo Tucker, who had served that role in the past. I found two solid options: http://brokenbat.org/player/128725 http://brokenbat.org/player/137062 Pinto seems the better option to me. Three years younger is a plus. He’s nice and rangey. But sadly he has a noodle arm. They both failed miserably in their previous stints in the majors. But Pinto has room to develop, and would be much more likely to play, being a right-hander, since my CF sometimes struggles against lefties. But he only has 11 hitting and lacks a hitting comment, whereas Zepeda has 15 hitting and the very good hitting comment. But I can’t bring myself to pull the trigger. Who should it be? Pinto or Zepeda? Updated Monday, March 5 2018 @ 1:49:42 pm PST |

Cactusguy21 Joined: 07/25/2017 Posts: 815 Presque Isle Vikings III.4 | Okay, Zepeda is heading to the waiver wire! What really swayed me on going with Pinto was remembering that I have Jolly down in the minors, wanting a promotion already. I don't need a third lefty OF bad on the major league squad, so Zepeda had to go, so that Jolly and Sheppard were the only lefties. Updated Monday, March 5 2018 @ 3:20:44 pm PST |

Cactusguy21 Joined: 07/25/2017 Posts: 815 Presque Isle Vikings III.4 | Well, we're about to see some Pinto action. Ricardo Madrid is out for the next three cup games. Pinto already did well in one game off the bench, going 3 for 4 in relief of Russ Wyatt. |

amalric7 Joined: 01/20/2016 Posts: 2235 New York Lancers IV.2 | Would have been Zepeda for me over Pinto. A 15 hitter with 16 Range and a 19 Arm for a backup OF? I'd take that any day (if I needed it). Don't see the attraction in Pinto. | ||

Cactusguy21 Joined: 07/25/2017 Posts: 815 Presque Isle Vikings III.4 | The attraction for Pinto for me was mainly age. He still has a chance to develop into a starter, and all three of my outfielders are getting up there in age. Zepeda is a lifelong backup. |
