we don't need 'All-Stars' at every position. Gardy will probably be gone at the end of the year unless maybe he becomes a coach. We have Frazier & Flores coming up. I don't see Harper fitting and would rather spend the $$$ for some starting pitchers. Homegrown talent contributes & keeps the payroll in check - gone are the days of $200 mil Yankee payrolls.
Two years ago in 2016 I never thought I'd say this, but I agree. Thanks to the influx of young infielders and outfielders.
In the infield I'd rather have Didi than Manny because of his great leadership, flawless defense (yes, Manny is flawless too) and Didi is a left handed hitter, and we NEED lefty hitters in our line up! Plus, we have our future All-Star 2nd baseman, Gleyber, and at 3rd base we have Andujar & Drury.... Go play for the Dodgers, Manny.
In the outfield we have: Judge, Stanton, Frazier (if he doesn't get traded for pitching in July), Hicks, and Estevan Florial (aka: Skinny Papi!!).
Save the money for a stud pitcher. (How I wish they signed Scherzer a few years back. What a STUD STARTER!!!).
