Let’s face it, Fielder’s about as good as they come at the position. So, any assessment of these players would be welcome, if something comes to mind. Am I nuts not to accept either of these offers?

Soriano could be headed to the Yankees, but if not, it might be Gonzalez headed there. Gonzalez could also find his way back to Pittsburgh. Either way, it’s quite conceivable they will both be gone from Atlanta.

Clearly, Aurilia is done with the Giants and many believe the 38-year-old should just call it a day. In fact, he was reportedly pondering retirement, but now has other plans. Aurilia says he’s okay accepting a bench role in order to continue his career. No kidding? Um, I doubt you have any other option at this point, Rich.

Could that be enough for him to have some value? It’s a stretch, no doubt. Burriss’ big problems are a complete lack of extra-base pop and an inability to hit righties. He’s a switch hitter, but perhaps he should just abandon the whole batting left thing, as he managed just a 510 OPS against righties. Of course, that would leave Burriss with an upside of being the weak side of a platoon. Oh boy!

Overall, Lewis was incredibly unproductive this season, and what modest pop he flashed last year disappeared. The big problem was he simply couldn’t hit lefties (.164 BA), so he was better down the stretch (786 OPS after the break) as a part-time player when he was not exposed to southpaws. And he put up that decent second half despite an absolutely crap September. The Giants are expected to try to lure a free agent outfielder this winter, and that could leave Lewis out in the cold. He may still bounce back, but so far, he’s been a big disappointment.
