So where do you make playing time for some of these?
Catcher - we're set with Basallo as possible replacement if McCann leaves in 25
IB set with Mayo as injury backup if Urias traded
2b - Westburg (R) and Vavra (L) to start with Oritz as backup or utility and Holiday as long term replacement when Henderson playing SS. Norby perhaps if a good spring pushing Westburg to 3rd
SS - Henderson with Oritz as backup/utillity with Holiday as co owning in future with Henderson. I see Mato being cut or traded for a AAA rp.
3B - Urias (if kept) , Westburg/Henderson if not
LF Hays - you need a CF here so it's Hays or Cowser or Mckenna
CF all Mullins with Mckenna backup
RF - unless something wrong with Kjerstad's defense, i'd think he slots here with stowers another year at AAA to rebuild value and cut strikeouts.
so i see Vavra replacing Frazier
Cowser or Mckenna replacing Hicks. more likely mckenna as R and out of options
Means replacing Gibson
Santander + prospect moved for SP pitching or alone for a closer
Kjerstad replacing Santander
Ortiz replacing Matos
Wells as 5th starter and Hall as closer or swapped pending who is picked up from trade
