Dick Allen Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I don't get the utter lack of power at the bottom of the order line. It appears NSC got that from here. Seriously, Eaton hit 15 homers in 2019 . He is a 12 to 15 guy. Madrigal doesn't hit homers,, but you could put either one of those guys second in the order and you have big power 3-8.
