I think Boston is a guy you don't have to rush to sign. He was a solid but not elite FS who has lost a step. We can't have known McCain would be released. I favor giving reps to younger players with upside, but the problem is we have lots of second string FS at best and no starter. McCain was once a CB I believe, is undersized, but seems to be a true center fielder FS. He's 27. If the price is right, could be a smart signing, but he isn't some world beater and may not be the long term answer. He has what Skins love, position flexibility, and a 1 or 2 year deal for $2-$4M per year might make sense. He would easily be best FS on our roster, but that isn't saying much.
