You guys know how important I think it is to have a balanced lineup of right and left handed hitters.
The 2020 team could very well have the following guys at the top 2/3 of the lineup: Moncada, Robert, Jimenez, Burger, Collins and Rutherford.
That provides two left handed hitters and a switch hitter. That would finally provide, what has been an elusive balance to the order. I'm not sure where Anderson will hit, but if he can't learn to take his walks, I suspect he'll not be in that top 2/3 of the order.
Of course we don't know who else will be added from the draft, or free agency, but all of the players I listed are very likely to be part of that 2020 team. I like it.
Baby steps. Anderson needs to find some instincts. Forget walks, if he can't figure out the basic fundamentals of fielding a baseball, he'll be playing elsewhere
