All in all, both of them are 4th outfielders, but if someone held a gun to my head and told me I had to start one of them in center and let him bat leadoff, I would have to pick Schafer

I would rather start McLouth every day for now, but I think Schafer will be a very useful 4th outfielder for us for a while. He is an excellent defensive CF and brings speed to the bench that we've lacked. He is a better version of Gregor Blanco, basically.

Fwiw, I would be surprised if we dealt for a outfielder. Reddick is actually showing patience at the plate, hitting major league pitching, and playing very good defense. They also have Kalish waiting on the wings for next year.

Guess who leads the entire MLB in runs scored so far this second half of the season..

Schafer! with 5.. (imagine if the braves had an even better option.. ha)

Martin Prado has scored 4 himself! Prado just makes this team go. I really prefer he hit in the 2 hole.

but anyways.. I just hope to see a trade happen soon. I don't care what player or teams.. just give everyone something new to talk about.

agree - no one wants him! he played so well last season, though. not sure what happened.

disagree. someone will pick him up.

50/50 on this one. on one hand, the stros would definitely fetch a couple of good prospects for him. but, if we lose hunter, there will be absolutely nothing to root for
