Clemens on Benintendi:
"Benintendi just turned 28 and is an on-base machine, a younger version of Brandon Nimmo. He has a line drive-oriented swing that won’t produce much power without a heavily juiced baseball, but that supports a ton of doubles and singles. He also rarely strikes out and draws walks at an elite clip. That’s a player you can slot at the top of your lineup for the next four years and feel happy about."

#Steamer 2023 forecasted WAR (via #FanGraphs):
#Thompson 1.9
#Bellinger 1.7
#CT 1.6
#Gallo 1.1
Nimmo is about the only option I see out there that can be an upgrade in CF. Maybe Haniger or Benintendi. (I guess also Judge, but I don't see the #Dodgers signing him.)
Kiermaier is a brutal hitter. It's scary to think how bad he'd be in Dodger Stadium.
#Nimmo 4.7
#Benintendi 2.3
#Haniger 2.1
#Kiermaier 1.1
Good lists here:
