OTM Mailbag: Filling out the lineup

Welcome back for another mailbag. We’ve now had a full week of spring action (sort of; Saturday’s game got cancelled after two innings), but there is still plenty to sort out before the start of the season. For this week’s mailbag, we look at the lineup order, roster building, and Jarren Duran, among a few other topics.

Bradley via email asks:

I was wondering what your thoughts were on Cora using a guy like Hunter Renfroe in the three spot, similar to what he did with Steve Pearce in 2018. Hitting Pearce third helped to stretch the lineup out and make them that much deeper.
