I would go Baldwin at SS, Rojas at 3B against RHP, Vargas at DH against RHP/at 3B against LHP, Slater and Taylor in the OF against LHP, Tauchman and Benintendi in OF against RHP/AB moves to DH against LHP.
Makes sense. He’s your prize trade chip let him DH a little more than you would have the last couple years.
Edit: that is, if he isn’t traded before season
Roster Resource has Rojas (3B vs RHP) and Slater (OF vs LHP, could give someone in OF a DH day or mostly go Benintendi there) as the platoon with Vargas bouncing between DH and 3B. I kinda like that better as Tauchman isn't bad against LHP. His career and 2024 splits are pretty neutral.
My 2 cents: he's a bad GM who is unqualified for the position who wouldn't be placed in this situation to fail if not for the owner. Don't really care to argue since it is what it is at this point until something changes at the very top.
Too soon to throw out “bust” in regards to Zavala. Didn’t have anywhere close to a good season but looks like he’s made adjustments. Lets see how it translates this year.
