Vientos needs protection. His range of outcomes as essentially as second year player are as wide as anyone in baseball. Slot him #2 in front of Soto and Alonso and he will hit .270 with 30-35 homers. He crushes fastballs and nobody will play with him with Soto and Alonso waiting.
It also lets Soto get more RBI chances. It may take a little protection away from Alonso, but Alonso's floor is substantially higher than Vientos' this year.
Baty is getting awfully close to his last chance. I've really been pulling for the kid, but he's got like 2 weeks.
