I get wanting to improve the defense, but it is really up the middle that needs improving. Outside of Robert, it has been putrid.
We can have light-bat players at @2B, SS and C, but it only works if the guys at the other positions are carrying bats that are average or better at their positions.
Moncada = Fail
Vaughn = Slightly Below Avg/Avg
Benintendi = Below Avg
Robert = Above Avg
RF = Fail
DH = Avg
Vaughn has to improve. He's been Greg Walker good. i.e. - good, but not good enough for position.
Eloy needs to stay healthy and produce.
If those 2 things happen, we still have 3B and RF holes to fill.
Benintendi is what he is. They knew what he was when they gave him 75 mil, he produced exactly what you can expect.
Assuming they trade Cease, someone has to take the bump every 5th day.
That group will likely include some rotation of Mike Soroka, Michael Kopech, Garrett Crochet, Erick Fedde and the winner of Prospect Survivor.
That is a lot of lightning to try and catch in one bottle.
