August 10, 20214 yr With the return of Robert and Engel, plus the addition of Hernandez. How good can we be when the playoffs roll around ? Moncada and TA have been really good all year. Abreu has done well even with his struggles at the plate. Vaughns ability is to catch what he reaches. With Robert and Engel around he wont have to reach as many. Zavala and Grandal should be fine if Yasmani gets back early enough. I've heard guys b**** about Goodwin, but playing RF only he should be ok too.
August 10, 20214 yr It should be really good. I had no idea how smooth Hernandez is at 2B. He is a great athlete, even at 31.

Hamilton off the bench in late innings can give you an outfield defense of Hamilton, Robert, Engel which is just insane. This team, when fully healthy, doesn't really have a true weakness.

Imagine going up against the Sox in late innings when the have this OF, the bullpen, and then having to face a lineup featuring Eloy (at DH), Abreu, Grandal, Robert, Hernandez, Moncada, and Anderson.

Let's not forget Andrew Vaughn. He's not exactly a walk in the park either.
