Yeah. It sort of depends what else they do. If they sign Alonso they'll need DH for him/Vladdy, and if not I bet they sign Turner or someone similar.
It does seem like theyre willing to move away from defense first in the outfield - they played Davis Schneider there most of last year. That was the right choice the first half of the year when he was hitting like the second coming of Mike Trout, and not so much afterwards, but it does suggest LF defense isn't a huge priority because he defense was never very good in the OF
