I think we're just going to have to disagree on this*, on most every level. I'm much less certain of Craig, Brentz, and Victorino performing at the level you seem to expect, and a bit less certain of Nava; and I think you're undervaluing Napoli and Cespedes. More generally, I think you're putting too much emphasis on positional flexibility at the expense of actual talent. Some flexibility is a good thing, especially in the backup roles, but it shouldn't be the primary roster goal at the cost of downgrading the guys that'll be playing almost every day. And again, I'm more comfortable with Hanley transitioning to LF than putting him at 1b in the center of everything.67WasBest said:If Craig remains a failure then move Brentz up, he mashes left handed pitching. What I'm getting at is there are at least 2 options equally as favorable as Napoli and Cespedes. 1) Hanley at 1B with Victorino in RF and Betts in LF 2) Hanley at 1B with Betts in RF and Craig/Nava,or Brentz/Nava in LF
