Correct. Though, his arm and his power have caused some fans to greatly overrate his other skills. Cespedes is a good player. Not sure he's a "great" player.

I wouldn't say great either but comparing him to a platoon guy was a bit off imo.
I agree it was a bit of a stretch, but I was trying to point out that we think of him as such a "great" player, when he really isn't.
Sometimes, great is in the eye of the beholder.
Who's saying he's great though?
Lester will be in LA or NY next year. If Boston wanted to sign him, they would have. I'll be shocked if he ends up there.
Like I say depends on the beholder.....our home run king has only 12 and the only one in double digits and we have no canon in the outfield....though Kiemaier has a decent arm. A Cespedes might be considered "great" in comparison.
