Soothsaying for Sixteen: Juan Lagares

[Edgy MD]

Hey, I'm Juan Lagares. I earned a Gold Glove but didn't win in 2013, actually won the thing in 2014, then lost my job (deservedly) in 2015. But I finished strong.

Now I'm back, 20 pounds lighter and ready to contribute stuff. Is there room for me to show my merit in this outfield? I think there is! How about you?

He'll get substantial playing time as late inning defensive replacement and starter when Granderson rests.
He'll hit enough to get the attention of the year end award voters and will retake the Gold Glove.

Decent fourth outfielder if no one gets hurt for a substantial amount
of time. Came to camp in terrific shape, probably deserves better, but
there's a log jam out there. Doubt he gets enough action/attention to
sniff the gold glove race but that's a different sooth to say.
