I said this last offseason when I was pushing for Thuney. I would rather have a slightly less talented player who is reliably healthy than a slightly more talented player who can't be relied upon... and sure enough Thuney was healthy and good, and Scherff was not healthy and good.
So yes, there might be a gap in ability between Daniels and Scherff, but you need to think of it this way when determining who is better....
17 games of Daniels + Daniels in the playoffs
or
11 games of Scherff + 6 games of Adeniji + potentially Adeniji in the playoffs
...and you're paying much more for the latter.
Scherff is heading into his age 31 season and has been on the IR 3 of the last 4 seasons with still missing 6 games in the only season of those 4 that he's not been on the IR. He's not going to get more durable with age.
