Also to add, my personal philosophy, not that it counts for much, is twofold:
1) for the infield, get guys who can get on base and are solid defenders. They don’t have to be mashers. That’s a bonus nice to have.
2) for outfield, get guys who can mash, hit for average and are decent defenders. No bad d as that could ruin you. Generally you can find these guys and you don’t have to pay a full premium as they did with Springer. Guys like Brantley fit the bill to a tee.
