OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

I don't know if Santander is coming back but he would be a DH guy Springer is a DH guy Barger may end up being a DH guy and we have some other guys that can't really play Outfield this team may have to actually just make a baseball trade this season
 
Barger is really good defensively at RF and 3B, so playing time could be tricky but he is most certainly not a "DH guy". They may still need to move one of the LHB OF to make room for a righty though.
 
Springer is an issue so far but i'm not close to giving up on him. But yeah all of Barger Sanchez Pinango could be DH candidates. Barger the best fielder of that bunch.
 
Plausible best lineup using....

A League

Nimmala (18): 361pa, 8.3b%, 31.3k%, .301bip, .232avg, .245iso, 121wrc+
Parker (19): 202pa, 15.8b%, 26.7k%, .315bip, .226avg, .134iso, 105wrc+
Sanchez (18): 148gms, 9.5b%, 28.4k%, .286bip, .215avg, .162iso, 89wrc+

Comp is biased to Nimmala just because he had a full season at the level and you'd expect the other two to improve as the season moves along, but I thought it was interesting. And of course, this comp is also biased towards Jojo because he's a year older than the other two at this level.

Sanchez in particular is surging after a tough initial adjustment:

First 15gms: 65pa, 9.2b%, 30.8k%, .158bip, .103avg, .017iso, 0wrc+
19gms Since: 83pa, 9.6b%, 26.5k%, .391bip, .306avg, .278iso, 158wrc+

If Sanchez keeps up anywhere near that last split then he'll be surging past the other two at this level soon enough, at least offensively.

A ton depends on which one of these guys can actually stick at SS - my current understanding is that Nimmala is expected to stick at SS, JoJo is more of a 50/50 proposition, while Sanchez is expected to end up at 3B. But i'm not sure about that, and so far parker and Sanchez are swapping the SS/3B spots pretty consistently.
 
My understanding for the long-term projection is Nimmala at SS, Parker at 3B. Haven't heard much talk about Sanchez's D so I have no idea there.
