I think it all depends on the health of other guys.
If Brantley and Guyer are both going to start the year on the DL, that’s presumably two open roster spots to fill (starting LF, 4th OF) with the logical candidates being Upton, Davis, Naquin, Almonte or Allen.
I guess Gonzalez or Diaz could fill in if they absolutely had to as well.
Yes but Allen and Naquin need to play every day somewhere instead of sitting on the bench as the 4th/5th outfielder. My bet is on Almonte.And I think Davis and Upton rank 4-5 out of those 5 players.

Well, Upton is complete trash, and Davis isn’t a good outfielder.You're taking at least one of:
Davis
Upton
Almonte
Naquin
Allen
Naquin/Allen would be my picks if Brantley is out and they need an every day LF. Otherwise it makes more sense to have them get more ABs in Columbus, at least to start the year.
I want my 4th OF to be able to handle all 3 spots. Almonte can do that in a pinch, but I'd rather not play him in CF. That's why I go Davis or Upton. And I think Tito will go that route as well.

I’ll take my chances with Allen and/or Naquin/Almonte. Really depends on how comfortable they are with Chisenhall and Zimmer hitting against lefties.

Davis isn't a good outfielder but Almonte is? C'mon now. Davis isn't what he was before, but he's a better all-around player than Abe.
