I don't think the Santana signing implies he will be playing 1B every night. While he's likely the main 1B, Dozier will likely see some time both there and in RF along with Soler fielding RF 2-3 times a week when Santana/Salvy DH's. This signing keeps the parts moving around the diamond, depending on the matchups, IMO. Whit will still play plenty of 2B, I'm guessing. From a lineup perspective, this was the exact player they said they lacked last year. O'Hearn and McBroom seem expendable w/ this signing.

Neither of those things is an onerous financial commitment, and the Royals had a financial commitment of $13M for 2022 (with lots of arbitration cases) before signing Santana. |

If I recall correctly, Santana can be streaky (he always seemed to be breaking out of a slump against us ). With the short season, streaky can look worse than it was.

Taylor's probably gonna play, because defense. Dayton's got his elite defensive middle of the field now. Salvy, Lopez, Mondesi and Taylor. But he could also be a defensive replacement if his offense is super terrible and Lee pushes him out.
The other issue would be if Cordero can't stay healthy. But Cordero just turned 26 and has monster power and speed. They'll probably keep giving him chances because his potential is so high and he's entering the age where some guys figure it out. |

Let’s not forget about David Dahl. I did yesterday.
Would be great if the Mahomes connection can help there, as Dahl has more upside than anyone else they could add. He’s also still young and has 3 years of arb control left. |
