If Moncada takes a step forward with the bat, nobody misses Machado. Madrigal is coming at 2B and Robert is coming for the OF.
I still feel like signing Adam Jones to a 2-3 year deal as a bridge to guys like Rutherford would be wise.
I'm not buying in on Palka (.570 OPS against LH) and Jay shouldn't even beat out Engel. Engel's defense >>> Jay's slightly better bat.
Alonso can't hit LH any better than Palka can.
If you want a more expensive "name", add it to the rotation. There's a real argument Lopez might be our best starter. Rodon has had spurts, but nothing more.
Giolito and Fulmer have looked like washouts. The rotation keeps us from being competitive, no matter who we have in the lineup.
