Not much better but I think Prout is a leftie.
No, he is right handed.
That said, if you want to upgrade other things, you are going to have to take some risks, or make sacrifices elsewhere. Dillon is a reasonable risk to take, in terms of sending him out, because you have 3 guys who might (we will know more in a few weeks but never be 100% sure) work out, and if it utterly fails, you are not throwing away significant long term prospects.
You are taking a risk that if it fails, only fails this year, and doesn't leave you in a particularly bad spot anyways, as it is improving one weakness on forwards and creating a new one on d, so it could just end up a wash.
