I had the same thought and don’t understand the love for Vavra. I would rather use Westburg who has earned it at AAA. Someone who can play multiple positions and has power. -
I think you're wrong because Vavra did have decent pop in the minors but time will tell. I agree that he showed very little pop in the majors but I think it's just a matter of experience and confidence. He slugged .468 in the minors. .337 in the majors. -
Admittedly I’m not really not familiar with him. What struck about Vavra was how little power he displayed. He could probably be played shallow , stealing some of his base hits. -
Nobody is suggesting acquiring him, as has been pointed out he was already traded to the Marlins this offseason. It's just an example of a player that has proven to be pretty valuable at 1B despite limited power. -
With interleague play, uniformity with the DH, umpires, etc. there's really no difference between the leagues like the old days when there were differences and the AL tended to be sluggers and the NL tended to have more speed players (and bigger astro turf fields), there's not really a difference anymore. It would not bother me although it sounds sacrilegious.

But, it depends what’s really available…plus you need an extension. If you are trading prospects for him.

Duquette was a good old-school GM, better than the previous few we had, but at the end of the day he was in an era were the good front offices were getting way ahead technologically, and he was in the wrong decade. He needed to hire an experienced team for analytics, but instead, gave the job to an intern who understandably asked where the database was. That's just not how to run an MLB team in the years that he ran it, and while there were good years on the field, it put us well behind.
