I think they paid too much honestly, since in time I think the guy they gave up will have equal production
Lynn becomes their #2 behind Giolito. Then it will be Kuechel, Cease, and Lopez. God forbid Kopech comes back and regains his form. They also have Crochet and Steiver that are ready. They may leave Crochet and his 100 mph FB in the pen for now.
Meanwhile, they have Grandall at C, Abreu at 1B, Madrigal at 2B, Moncada at 3B, Anderson at SS, and an OF that consists of Jimenez, Robert, Engel, and Eaton. Oh yeah, there are rumors that they are interested in signing Brantley also. If I were them I would give Adolfo every opportunity possible. If he proves ready then you're looking at an OF of Jimenez, Robert, and Adolfo. That's would be ridiculous IMO.
Then there's us lucky Indian's fans quibbling over who should be in the OF mix out of Bauers, Naylor, Johnson, Luplow, and Mercado. We won't have Lindor, we won't have Hernandez, our catchers are the best defensively but can't f'n hit a lick, 1B will likely be one of Bauers, Naylor, or Bradley. We do have Ramirez and a solid pitching staff, so an astute trade or 2 could fill some holes and keep us competitive. As it stands now IMO, we would only finish in front of the Royals and maybe the Tigers due to the lack of offense.
