So, essentially you're saying that even if we don't get Crisp, you're still willing to start Cora, who has a WORSE bat than Gonzalez? Sorry, we need to sign Gonzalez if we don't get Crisp, we can't have a CF and a SS who have depleted bats. If we have Crisp who brings a solid bat to the lineup, than I'm all for starting Cora at SS. However, we can't a dip with the bat anywhere on the field if we don't find that one bat we need. Crisp brings it.
No Crisp and no Gonzalez just can't happen. We need 1 of the 2. And if not Crisp, then another CF who brings a bat to the lineup.
