" Great defensive 1B"....Kotchman sounds like the kind of 1B that would fit in just fine with Bobby Cox to me; especially with his not quite, but seemingly darn near, totally revamped and loaded, rotation. Someone mentioned the Angels successful formula of solid pitching and defense to go along with a lineup full of solid, steady, reliable, professional hitters up and down.... So Casey's #'s at 1B would seem to fit in nicely with a few other guys, or platoon situations, whatever the case may be. Lets see, you've got Kelly, Yunel, and Kotchman, with hopefully Frenchy and our CF platoon all putting up basically similar #'s to go along with Chipper and McCann. So now perhaps we add another one with a GA/Diaz platoon. You can see the possibilities. Anderson will be a great platoon player with Matt Diaz. He's a solid, professional hitter and will be a good addition to the team. He's headed to join spring training. The combined salaries of Matt Diaz and GA will be about 3 1/2 million dollars which for that amount of money you've got yourself a pretty decent left fielder.
