I think the trick to start the season in 2022 is to platoon Hill and Greene in CF and Daz and Baddoo in LF. Give Grossman an occasional break using the platooners. See what shakes out and go with the hot hand. Spend the FA money on a couple of familiar starters and a lefty for the pen. Extend Candelario. And no extended trips to the DL.
