Clearly Bauers has to go and is likely gone already with Naylor as his replacement. I'm not sold that will work out either, but I have a lot more faith in Josh than I do Jake.
3B is obviously covered, as is LF, DH, 2B, and RF. Yes, I think RF is Luplow's to lose.
SS has 2 pretty good candidates even if they aren't Lindor. If a choice had to be made between Rosario or Gimenez which one would you fine folks choose right now? I think Gimenez has more upside and both are struggling offensively at the moment.
I think that CF should be upgraded. I think Amed is doing much better out there, but I want more offensive upside. I think that his upside and Mercado's are relatively the same, but I think that Amed is more likely to realize that upside. Johnson probably won't get the call as long as Amed is on the roster. I don't think they want to platoon either Amed or Johnson, and that is understandable IMO. They still have Zimmer, Mercado, and Gamel as well.
There's one more upgrade I'd like to see happen and that's in the rotation. There is a team out there that may match up well with Cleveland and that is Colorado. Gray is pitching well and Cron is hitting well. Neither are expensive or signed long term. I don't know what that would mean for Naylor, but I don't really give a shit honestly. I guess they could use Josh to spell any of Rosario, Luplow, and Cron, as well as pinch hit. That still leaves CF up in the air, but the jury is still out on the current options.
