He is not a great defender and his offense declined last season as well. With Lou Marson waiting in the wings and the acquisition of Ronny Paulino, Coste’s playing time likely will not meet his projections.

This may come in the form of a quasi-platoon at third base with Pedro Feliz. It is not likely that this righty-masher will become a full-time starter, but if Feliz goes down with an injury, Dobbs is an excellent bet to replace and exceed his production.
