I don't think it's worth going after an outfielder when we will get Springer back. We are trying to tread water without him so we would need to get one soon to make it worth trading for someone

I think we need to do more than tread water. The timeline on Springer was 6-8 assuming theres no setback. That means we could be without Springer anywhere from 28 to 41 of our remaining 77 games. Thats 36% to 53% of the rest of our season. Plus we have no idea if Springer will be the same player immediately coming off of this injury.

Its a risky move to try to "tread water" relying on Marisnick's struggling bat, a rookie in Tucker and journeyman quad-A player Alex Presley. Even when Springer was healthy, a trade for an OF would have been viable.
