Damn, De Aza's deal is actually for $5.75 million guaranteed with incentives that could take him up to over $7 million.
Forget him being primarily a bench guy...that's clearly starter money. Their offseason spending on hitters is over.
RF Granderson
2B Walker
3B Wright
1B Duda
C d'Arnaud
SS Cabrera/Flores
LF Conforto
CF De Aza/Lagares
I still think they can compete with that lineup especially with the pitching. One or two injuries though and they're right back to where they were last year pre-Cespedes trade. Problem is I don't know what other choice they have. They can break the bank to bring in Cespedes, Upton, or Gordon but none of them can play CF on a regular basis.
