    Could be Aquino, could be a handful of Dodgers...JD Davis or Cespedes...Howie Kendrick, to name a few.

    Could Yasmany Tomas make a comeback? Any of the Rockies?

      I don't know about skyrocket, but for the Phillies it helps Jay Bruce. Not sure if he will end up with the full-time DH role or if he ends up platooning with Bohm, but his picked up a bunch of ABs

        Dang, there's a lot of options. Here's my thoughts, possibly jumbled:

        - Ryan Braun - given that the Brewers had three people for two positions, and Braun is better suited for DH duty. Now, he'll get nearly full-time ABs at a much lower risk of injury.
        - Yoenis Cespedes - He still might suck, but he's simply cut out for DH.
        - Tyler O'Neill/Dylan Carlson - One of these would win LF, one would sit or go to the minors. Now, both will likely play.
        - Steven Souza - See Yoenis Cespedes.
        - Someone in the Cincinnati OF.
        -

          the Padres are stuck overpaying Eric Hosmer at 1B forever, and Naylor was faking it in the OF as punishment.

          Naylor is 22 and had a 90 OPS+ in the bigs last year at 21.

          listed at 5-11, 250
