Would you rather watch Ernie Clement play 3B or Matt Chapman?

Springer isn't going anywhere and I think his defense will continue to regress (even if he was a platoon DH bat or some sort).

I believe Barger would be at minimum average in RF (he has a great arm) and I agree with Gurriel defensively, but his bat would be an improvement.
Clase is an excellent defender in CF (theoretically making it easier for the corner OF defenders) and speed at bottom of lineup (even if he was an 80 OPS+ hitter).

Moreno is a fine hitter (105 OPS+ so far in his career) and will only be 25 next season.

Kirk has turned out to be an excellent defensive catcher, but his bat has fallen off. The last two seasons he has a 93 OPS+ with zero power in his bat it seems.
