August 23, 20168 yr Bour wasn't expected back for a few more weeks anyway so this is just a procedural move to open a spot on the 40 man. Also, I do like the Arcia pickup. He's still young and I still think there's potential there.
August 23, 20168 yr I disagree. Arcia is actually going to show us a pretty good bat that didn't get many opportunities before.
August 23, 20168 yr Maybe Arcia will be the center piece for the playoff run, and be flipped at the winter meeting for a SP
August 23, 20168 yr Didn't think I'd say this in 2016 but I think I'd have preferred francoeur over arcia. Oh well, glad they're still looking to improve us. The team deserves reinforcements.
August 23, 20168 yr Arcia does have some power. Didn't Polly mention him not so long ago? We did something he likes!
August 23, 20168 yr If only we could have gotten his younger brother who is actually a good prospect right now.
August 23, 20168 yr It's just as likely to be the wrong move though. Mostly because fuck you. i mean it's most likely an inconsequential move the guy strikes out like 50% of the time (still had a 700 ops this year), but it's better than andino or chris johnson or don kelly.
August 23, 20168 yr Arcia obviously killed it in the minors and was doing decently with Tampa Bay. Didnt see Dietrich get hurt anywhere. Weird.
August 23, 20168 yr Arcia is a good pick up. As mentioned on here, he has great pop, was putting up close to league average OPS, but Ks way too much. Obviously when you claim a guy off waivers, he isn't going to be a perfect prospect. But Arcia is a solid move, high reward low risk move. A lefty we can bring off the bench and provide pop

August 24, 20168 yr If he OPS's .800+ he can strike out all he wants. As long as his name isn't Giancarlo. Am I right?
