Melky in CF would have been much better, but Royals get raped on trades all the time, no big surprise there.
Perez getting hurt really torpedoed this whole season. We miss his defense more than his bat.

I was a big advocate of letting Gio get playing time up here, but his 9th inning AB on Sunday was the end for me. Which is sad, because I despise Betancourt. Sadly, I have become excited about the return of Getz. He at least tries and pretends to give a shit, which I can't say the same for the latter two mentioned above.
