I think in many ways, this will be a test year. Figure out what works and use that knowledge for 2022 when they really think they can compete. Things could get kinda weird.

Cora said he's still debating whether Verdugo will hit first or second. Today's his first game and he's hitting second. Hernandez has been leading off in the first few games.
Verdugo was good there last year. Leave him there.
Verdugo
Xander
Devers
JD
whoever else after

Bogaerts is back throwing, so moving closer to a game ... Cora plans to use Verdugo in CF and RF in ST. Sounds like he'll get at least some RF during the season. Cora reiterated that there won't be a set OF lineup
Verdugo is not a spare part. Downs seems like he won't be a spare part either. I think the return for Mookie was fine. However, they just shouldn't have traded him in the first place.
