Projecting next year's infield

[Lateral Quicks]

April:
Smoak's option gets picked up (should be traded in the offseason, but alas), Travis gets another kick at the can, and Tulo still not healthy. Gurriel plays 90% of the time.
1B Smoak
2B Travis
SS Diaz
3B Drury
Reserve: Gurriel

May:
Guerrero gets called up, and Travis gets the short straw in favour of the recently acquired Drury. If the team doesn't go with a four man bench, Travis gets traded.
1B Smoak
2B Drury
SS Diaz
3B Guerrero Jr.
Reserve: Gurriel

August:
Smoak will finally be traded. Tellez or another prospect will get a two-month audition at 1B.
1B Tellez
2B Drury
SS Diaz
3B Guerrero Jr.
Reserve: Gurriel

September:
The front office finally realizes Drury sucks, and Biggio gets an audition. After being injury insurance all year at triple A, Urena gets some playing time. Bichette not called up to maximize duration of team control.
1B Tellez
2B Biggio

Drury was not acquired for what he did in the past, it’s for what they think he can be in the present/future. There was talk that he made some adjustments as a Yankee, and his launch angle basically doubled from the year before, but he was too hurt to get a good sample size. He will definitely be playing everyday at 3b (pre Vlad) and 2B.

Tulo being a stubborn **** really puts the Jays at a disadvantage. Maybe he can just be a full time DH.

I also hope Morales, Pillar and Smoak can get moved so we can see different players at these positions.

Also how will the outfield look? I think that is also a big question. DSJ, Alford, Hernandez, Gritchuk, Pillar, Mckinney,

Its going to be an interesting offseason.
