I'd watch this team next year
Posted: Sat Oct 29, 2022 8:00 pm
Bae (CF)
Cruz (SS)
Reynolds (LF)
Davis (C, after July)
Endy R. (1B, after July)
Cutch (DH) or M. Nunez, DH/1B after July
Suwinski (RF) or Andujar, or possibly Gorski later in the year
Castro (2B) or N. Gonzales or Peguero after July
Hayes (3B)
We'd need placeholders for DH, 1B and C until mid-season: Cutch, Jesus Aguilar (hope he has a hot first half then trade him for a pitcher in July when Endy/Davis/Nunez come up), and Roberto Perez. They'd probably all fit inside Bob's wallet.
Rotation would be some free agent reclamation project (everyone says Quintana but I have a hard time believing he'd come back after experiencing life with a playoff team in St. Louis), plus:
Contreras
Keller
Remaining two spots are the best 2 out of of Ortiz, Priester, Burrows, Oviedo
Not a playoff team--too many young players/pitchers still adjusting. But fun to watch, as opposed to the endless at bats from VanMeter, Yoshi, Chang, Heineman, Greg Allen, and on and on.
