Estrada won't be much of an improvement over DeLuca. Estrada doesn't walk much and his defense is average/below average at best.

DeLuca won't be back in New York according to the article I just read.

Right, that's why I figured they signed Estrada. I'm just saying that Estrada won't be that much of an improvement over DeLuca offensively and defensively.

Estrada is nothing compared to Leduca.
