Potential 2025 lineup + DH possibilities?
Against RHP:
- Carroll RF
- Marte 2B
- Naylor 1B
- Geno 3B
- Gurriel Jr LF
- Pavin/Del Castillo? DH
- Moreno C
- McCarthy/Thomas CF
- Domo/Lawlar SS
As it stands, Pavin is the likely DH. ADC is in the running too but we would need to add another catcher on the 26 man if we went that route. What do you all think? Is there anyone on the market you’d like to see at DH? Personally, I’m cool with what we have now. It’d be cool to see Joc return but with Naylor coming in he is much less necessary now. We have solid power. Any remaining moves must be to bolster pitching and maybe add some more utility.
EDIT: against lefties I think it’d be optimal to just have Ketel DH. Gives him a break from the field and gives Lawlar an opportunity to play if we move Domo over to 2nd for those matchups. Also wouldn’t need to sign a specialized lefty DH bat like Grichuk.
