Better than anything is Dipoto showing a willingness to change course. Quickly.
Dyson, LF, looked like a disaster in the making. A 71 wRC+ can survive in CF with defense and speed, but there's not enough speed on Rickey Henderson to bridge the OPS gap between a guy like Dyson and a guy like Braun, an actual LF.
Motter looks like our best option both in LF and at 1B, so hopefully Dipoto has just one more ace up his sleeve by midseason! Or, if Vogelbach or Heredia decide to take off, we'll be sittin in butter.
Many draws at the deck indeed. But more than anything else, Dipoto's evolution into Quickdraw McGraw, axing Martin 2 months quicker than the Aoki-flush may have saved the M's from falling 2 games short of the playoffs this season. Good on you, Dipoto.
