Lineup loss is mostly limited to Brantley. Alonso has been terrible as has Gomes, Chisenhall hasn't played an inning and Santana/EE is a wash. Diaz is a loss but he didn't play much last year and Luplow has picked much of that difference when he's played. Biggest differences IMO are: loss of Brantley, JRam sucking, Martin returning to normal form, and Lindor missing a month. Plus Kipnis hasn't gotten hot as he did in the second half last year. But if we had kept Gomes, EE, Alonso and Chisenhall, while losing Brantley (and not adding Carlos, Luplow or Bauers), we wouldn't be much better than we are now offensively. So Ingraham's argument seems to boil down to: they should have kept Brantley. Well, duh.
