SUBSTITUTES - POSITION PLAYERS ...

Barrosa emerged as a league average CF in '26, but has regressed to being replacement level. In order to be more useful, Barrosa needs to be hitting better and/or stealing bases. As of now, he appears to be a player that can easily be replaced.

Signed only to complete an owner goal, Altuve's value has dropped along with his batting production. In order to be useful, Altuve needs to bat at league average levels, and not the 56 OPS+ level he's currently hitting.

Gonzalez, once part of a very productive RF platoon has seen his production and playing time significantly reduced. If the production continues, Gonzalez likely finds himself outside of the team's future plans.

Tawa, the team's Swiss Army Knife, provides value in his ability to play essentially every position except catcher. When batting near league average levels, he is useful. However, his present batting production wipes out all of the value he has in his defensive versatility.
