Am I the only one not really panicking about Lopez? I really like his defense, as does everyone, but I am optimistic that he can put it together at the plate. He obviously had to put in work this offseason on fixing his approach.

Nicky has one more year, or maybe 3 months, to prove he can hit a little. His glove makes him valuable as a utility player if he can't. To me, ideally, Isbell hits .330 at NW AR and moves into RF moving Whit to 2B. DMGM has made it known that they have high expectations and hope Isbell forces their hand.

My opening day lineup:

Benintendi

Merrifield

Soler

Santana

Perez

Dozier

Mondesi

Taylor

Lopez

I never expected much power out of Lopez, but I did expect to see a guy who could put the bat on the ball and take a walk more than he has.
