May 11, 20187 yr Author If you WERE to sign AJ Pollock (costing probably $100-120 million on the open market, 5 or 6 years)...we wouldn't be THAT far off in terms of offense if Luis Robert also becomes a star-caliber player. That would give you a monster 2020 line-up of: 2B Yoan Moncada RF AJ Pollock 1B Jose Abreu LF Eloy Jimenez 3B Mike Moustakas (FA deal for 2019-2021) DH Collins/Davidson/Zavala/Moustakas C ??? Grandal/Zavala SS Tim Anderson CF Luis Robert Of course, that doesn't account for Basabe, Rutherford, Adolfo, Sheets, Burger, etc. Nor does it rely on them making it. Still leaves you money to go out and sign a veteran starting pitcher and a closer. Biggest question (offensively) to me is STILL whether Yolmer can stick as an everyday player...versus the upgrade of a veteran like Moustakas, Asdrubal Cabrera, Lowrie, etc. There's a strong argument on both sides, and no obvious solutions once you get past Machado/Donaldson/Arenado.
