2023 Hitting Line up (Trade deadline: Aug. 2, 2022)
The 2023 Line up weakness to me is CF Pache should be at AAA now to let his hitting evolve & improve. He might need 2-3 trips from LV to A's? Barrera's hitting seems to be improved, readier for MLB.
They may not re-sign Kemp for 2024 but Neuse is a good fit at 2B. Everyone else is here through 2025 or Beyond unless traded, ...so Lineups foundation actually looks good long term. Minor leagues have some eager up & comers so hitting looks alright!
Tony Kemp-l, 30y, .....2b, LF, 0 options, FA '24 (If Kemp leaves Neuse is a plus at 2b)
