Kirk/Jansen has potential to be one hell of a catching tandem.

If the FO can "find" some starting pitching this team should be pushing for 90 wins next season IMO.

Potentially a line up made up entirely of league average to well above league average hitters.

1. Teo - 156 wRC+
2. Tellez - 136 wRC+
3. Bichette - 132 wRC+
4. Gurriel - 130 wRC+
5. Biggio - 124 wRC+
6. Vlad - 108 wRC+
7. Grichuk - 104 wRC+
8. Jansen - 98 wRC+

Kirk with a small sample size has a 200 wRC+

Imagine if they go big game hunting and land a guy like George Springer in free agency.
Vladdy really needs to go back to 3rd. Tell him if he shows up to spring training 20 lbs lighter, he can have the bag back.

That would set up these 8 bats perfectly. Then add one more A-list bat.

(and a couple of starters of course)
