At the risk of sounding like Dayton Moore, I'm not entirely convinced you wouldn't have a better team if you eventually just ran Bradley, Waters and Isbel out there in the OF and had a great defense to help the pitchers at least. It's not like we're scoring runs anyway. At least they'd be elite at something. But you don't even really have to do that because Pratto and Melendez can mix in LF/RF every day.

Olivares is 27. He is no longer a prospect and has a 10 cent head. I would be fine with cutting bait. He was worth the risk to trade for but I think his time should be done.
