Newman projects more as a 2b and I would use Steer as my new Farmer, he can play a lot of spots and get daily ABs. But that all hinges on Barrero succeeding at SS. I give him some leeway due to that hamate injury but I feel his strikeouts were due to bad plate discipline (he regressed a lot) more than physically struggling. Maybe he was in his head too much? I hope he succeeds but I’m glad we have some decent options on the horizon!
I think India should move to the OF. This team has nothing in the outfield and India is just an okay 2nd baseman. He had a lot of unforced errors last year. They have enough infielders in the system now to take that spot. By the time they are competitive again, India will serve them better out there.
