I’m tempted probes String Cheese Incident instead put string cheese diagnoses Seth Smith here instead, although I think it is much more likely that the Rockies will part company with Spilborghs than Smith.FanGraphs says this about the Rockies outfielder: “With a .351 career wOBA and passable defense even in center field (-2.1 UZR), he could fill a more important role on another team. Bill James projects him to have a .362 OBP in 2010.Spilborghs would not start, but let’s say the Cubs acquire an outfielder that doesn’t hit well against left-handed pitching. This guy could be a bargain as a replacement for Reed Johnson, and they wouldn’t have to mortgage the farm to get him.None of these guys will turn the Cubs into champions, but who knows, they just might stumble onto something, come to think of it..
