I'm almost always not for signing old farts, but this actually is not a terrible move. He will come very cheaply, and can take Chavez's 4th OF role once everyone else has returned (Chavez went down like he was shot by a sniper... he won't be back any time soon). If anything, he can still go get it in the OF, and COULD be the lefty hitter with some pop off the bench that this team doesn't have right now. That said, he's done squat in 90+ ABs for the Rockies. Maybe a change of scenery to a shot at the pennant will motivate.
I think I will projectile vomit if they even consider Ledee. Too bad Milledge is hurt.
I have a suspicion we aren't going to see Alou any time soon.
