March 16, 20197 yr Current projected lineup (mlb.com) Francisco Lindor, SS Jason Kipnis, 2B Jose Ramirez, 3B Carlos Santana, DH Jake Bauers, 1B CarGo/Tyler Naquin, RF Leonys Martin, CF G.Allen/Jordan Luplow, LF Roberto Pérez, C They also have Joyce, Trayce Thompson, Brandon Barnes...IMO, a healthy Bradley Zimmer is the key, when he comes back, as he’s maybe 2-3 weeks behind everyone else. Then there’s Hanley Ramirez, and his return from the abyss. At any rate, Lindor, Kipnis, Ramirez, Santana, Ramirez/Bauers, CarGo, Martin, Zimmer and Perez isn’t bad at all. And thank god they traded Francisco Mejia or our competitive window might have been blocked in 2020/21 as well. (It did get them their closer in Hand, though.)

March 17, 20197 yr Great deal for them. Potential solution to their biggest weakness on a minor league deal and cheap ML salary.
March 17, 20197 yr Why the heck did Hahn give Jon Jay $4 million guaranteed? Awful. I’d rather have CarGo right now for less than Jay. Edited March 17, 20197 yr by Harper2Sox
March 17, 20197 yr Without the Machado pursuit, Jay was a non-roster invite type with a 2 mil salary if he made the team. Oh well.

Or the back 3-4 of their bullpen. Zimmer, If healthy, is maybe a 1-1.5 fWAR downgrade from Brantley...but certainly has the potential to outproduce him. CarGo, Martin and Zimmer certainly sounds a lot better than what they looked like two months ago. We can even argue that taking Alonso’s deal off their hands partially contributed to this low-risk signing.
