meanwhile RSN is loving Durbin

Yup, it took a while, but he is finally starting to hit...

Buying low on Gurriel would save the significant payroll.

Thoughts?

I don't see AZ making that trade straight up.  It would be more cost effective to cut Gurriel and eat the $11M.

That said, It's a very good fit.  Yoshi is surely better than what AZ has gotten from Gurriel.  Maybe some money from the RS, plus 1-2 lottery tickets might get it done.  And from the RS perspective, Gurriel is probably better than what we've seen (again, some future projection required).  Very good against lefties.  And just cheap enough that we can cut him if he tanks.
