Santander in LF, Mullins in CF, and Hays in RF with Mancini at DH/1B.  That sounds much better. 

 

DJ Stewart in left, Mullins in center, Hays in right, Mancini at first, and Santander DH'ing sound even better.

Where is Chris Davis in this situation?  I don't see him retiring anytime soon and his contract is untradeable.  Maybe he is so bad that he has to be DFA'd at some point and we can have an alignment like that.  I don't see that happening before 2020 though. 

It's too bad prospect for prospect trades almost never happen because it would be nice if we could trade one of these outfielders for a young pitcher or at least a middle IF prospect.  By most accounts, that is where Mountcastle will end up too so we probably will need to pursue some kind of trade. 

Regardless, the law of attrition tells us that at least one of our OF prospects won't pan out and the potential clog will clear itself.  My bet is Stewart or Mullins, I'm just not sure which one.  Maybe Mullins ends up a fourth outfielder type.  Santander just looks like a big leaguer/classic slugging corner OF to me (I know that's not a great analysis) and Hays is as close to a can't miss guy as we have in our system.

Santander seems to be built like Nelson Cruz. Is that fair to say?

Just as long as he doesn’t follow his training regimen.

If he can hit like Cruz, then who cares?

Wait!  What?  You're not (thinks to self - imply or infer?)  implying or inferring that B12 is still around?

I’m talking about natural b-12 and other vitamins that come in OJ. Not injecting b-12 that would make him look like Venezuelan OJ.

Not the best defensive outfield out there...

Love to see Cedric "entertain" us as well

Oops - perhaps you should delete that second sentence of your answer and I will delete my joking "pregunta"?  btw - I did delete it

Pretty sure they have moved on to lozenges.

The kind of juice you buy at a grocery store. It was a DBZ reference
