I for the life of me, do not understand the Murakami hype. 

His K rate in Japan the last few years would have placed him in the top 10 in MLB for the higest strike out percentage.  If that rate ticks up even a hair coming over and facing MLB pitchers then he's going to be the strike out king of baseball. 

We all know power is meaningless if you don't have the hit tool to access it.  We don't need Japanese Bobby Dalbec.

His glove is as bad as Dalbec's too.

It should be between Bregman and Alonso, if we can't get both. (Schwarber is fine with me)

I'm not a fan of Bichette, because he's not the power bat we need. Bichette with Suarez at 1B might be enough.
