There is no coherent strategy to their approach - it’s please someone take our money
Sure Santandar CAN play OF - but you sure don’t want him out there . Let me know after seeing him play D for 25 games what you think of him out there .
I predict fans will hate him by the all star break (hope I am wrong and he’s a late career bloomer)
The team isn’t that bad , and could if everything breaks right get a wildcard , see Vlad and Bo leave in the offseason , be missing a 2nd round pick for Signin Santandar , and start a rebuild over with 4 more years of a anchor contract on the books .
Yaaaaay

Agree that it's best to play Santander at DH. Maybe LF here and there but DH best suits him. A positive is that he came from Baltimore, and knows the AL pitchers being in our division. I think he'll do fine personally. They needed power. Now they have to fill LF, 3B and both have to be filled by someone who has power as well. None of this d-first nonsense they've been peddling.
