That leaves right field and DH open.  India in maybe one of those. Benson and Fraley in the mix also.  Senzel I think is gone.

The guys in the 1st line are locks to me, except 'maybe' Stephenson, whose ceiling he hasn't achieved yet.

I'm in no way a MLB contract/money guru. And I have no idea what Fraley and Benson's contracts are? But I'd be fine with keeping both of them as banch players, spot starters. 

I am a big India fan, he's been a starter level player except for a couple stints here and there. What kinda worries me about India is that he's already peaked. Add in the fact that he's a very average defender at best and I'm not totally opposed to trade him and whoever else for some better starting pitching.

Taking a chance so to speak that some combo of Steer, Friedl, McClain, CES, EDLC, Marte is going to be better.
