Agree... but he has more power than rendon... wouldn’t you put him behind someone who gets on base a lot?

Barring any other moves, I really like the way we line up offensively...

Fletcher 2B
Trout CF
Rendon 3B
Ohtani DH
Upton LF
Pujols 1B
Goodwin/Adell RF
??? C
Simmons SS

it's a sabermetric thing, the 2 hole gets him more plate appearances over the course of the year. Plus with Rendon and Ohtani behind him he'll be tough to pitch around.

Rendon will take AL MVP now on this lineup.

Is it possible that is a great signing and a panic move at the same time? That's what it seems like to me.

They need lots - just to catch the Astros and the As, not to mention the Yankees. Rendon helps and shouldn’t have production issues.

Awww man. I just thought about who is going to now bat with Juan Soto in Washington DC? This signing is going to hurt Soto’s numbers.
