Tis the season of hope...

Woke up this AM with the following thought...  

If we had a GM and an owner that I trusted I would say that there actually is a VERY good plan in place.

Keep Jazz at third for the year and then next year move him over to second and sign Murakami the (25-26 year old?) Triple Crown level 3B free agent from Japan.  

Ride Goldschmidt for the year and then move Bellinger to 1B and sign Kyle Tucker long term next year. 

It APPEARS that that is the long term plan. But I know I'm giving WAY too much credit to the front office.

But since it is the season of hope...  Just for fun let's say that was the actual plan and they did it. The lineup in 2026 would look like this. 

Jazz 2B 

Murakami 3B

Judge RF

Tucker CF

Bellinger 1B

Stanton DH

Dominguez LF

Wells C

Volpe SS

That my friends is one hell of a line up.  Power. Speed. Potentially scary 1-9 especially if the Martian is real and Volpe and Wells go up a level, which I believe is possible.   

Ain't happening. But it could. It's right there if the goal was to do more than contend. 

Just sayin.
