Jack has created a good base to work off of...for trades if a better outfield option becomes available...we can add a dh if a trade uses one of our 1B/DH types...or rotate players per the manager's preference. Also, he has created the sufficient stop loss at most positions. Yes, we still need a #2/3 so that our younger pitchers have 4 to make 2 odds. Of course, an experienced backup catcher is needed. More experience in the bullpen would be nice.
The best part is that we don't have to rely on the last-minute, potential big FA add. It is done. We don't have to dumpster dive for MOTO parts with Cano and Hart. We also have two chances at success at 1B with Smoak and Lomo. Bloomie can teach Franklin how to be a great utility guy. This lineup gives us a reasonable chance at a run this season and buys us a little more time to make a decision on Ackley and Smoak.
I am looking forward to this year. Merry Christmas all!
God bless, Michael
