Phillies should get him
phillyoakman
you can have both.

That was a bad move, they should have kept him and given him the 1st shot at the CF job next year because I doubt they bring Raji Davis back after this year

But Eibner is awful

Wouldn’t mind STL trying to get this guy as a depth piece, since it’s pretty much inevitable that Pham and Grichuk will get hurt at some point this year

And yet they keep the worse player in Smolinski, ugh.

Smolinski can hit circles around Eibner vs. lefties
A'sfaninUK
Smolinski has a career .796 OPS vs LHP in MLB, Eibner hit .928 OPS in 2015 vs LHP in the minors and in 2016 hit .747 in the minors and .715 in his cup of coffee last year.
Hitting circles around = slightly better than?
They are both kind of bad though. Smolinski had a -0.3 fWAR last year and Eibner 0.2. The A’s would be smart to try out other players, because neither of them look like keepers.

Smolinski’s career OPS vs. lefty’s is over .850 but good try.

And last year Smolinski was exposed to righties due to the team being hit garbage. Platoon him and he destroys lefties. And he’s in his peak years. Eibner is still terrible.

White Sox could use some added depth with Tilson coming back from injury and Melky being available if a trade suitor is found.

I wouldn’t be upset about it.

Reds should grab him and maybe platoon with Schlebler
GareBear
Royals should pick him back up as depth since Solar is still unproven, Cain is injury prone, and Gordon hasn’t been the poster child of health of late either.

Can we just have Billy Burns back?
bkwalker510
He’s awful. No thanks.
