I actually think Jose is starting to make more and more sense for us. I don't want him in the OF as much as anyone else does, but with Pearce here, I can see him and Jose splitting OF/1B duties. You would preferably just want Jose at 1B fulltime, but with improved flexibility it makes more sense now than before I think.
I don't think it's overly likely still but you're not shoehorning Pearce into LF full time signing Jose like you might with EE. And he comes cheaper. I doubt we'd pay both Jose and Fowler because we still need to upgrade the pen.
Dump Smoak, trade Upton, sign Jose(3x15), sign Fowler(4x17), sign Boone Logan(2x6), sign Derek Holland(1x5)
