At least they can probably get by with corner outfielders comprised of Slater, Parker, Pence, and maybe Williamson, but how does your fan base take you seriously if you throw Gorkys Hernandez out as your opening day starter in CF? Steven Duggar isn't spectacular, but maybe he's the option.

I think Slater will be a very good outfielder.  Hernandez was interesting.  First half of the year -- really the first two months -- he was flat out horrible, looked like an A ball player.  After those first two months, he played quite well.  Hit .281 in the second half with a .709 OPS, reaching .760 before tiring the last month.  Not a world beater, but not the world's worst either.  Duggar batted .261 in a hitter's league, AAA.  I don't know that he's the answer.
