You're missing a few Es in this one, his first name is Branden and there is an e at the end of his last name as well.
1B is the thinnest position in our entire farm so any glimmer of hope of Boissiere would be great. Everything I have read on BB makes it sound like he is a very solid defensive 1B, maybe get him to the AFL and see if he can start next year in Harrisburg? Mendoza is a lost cause, Meregildo is showing some pop and currently in AA so he is probably the only guy ahead of BB at 1B in the org right now.

If you are right about Cavalli, then Espino is guaranteed to start the season in the rotation. I'd like to see an innings eater signed, along with 3rd baseman and perhaps one or two outfielders, depending on Robles. Get me a 2 fWAR 3rd baseman on a 2 year contract to play opposite Voit.Espino ... Adon .... Shoulder Blade. One of them.
I expect Carrillo to be up next year, perhaps Cronin will be given a shot, and Henry in some roll depending on health.
I don't think you can build a roster spot around a guy who has never hit in AA. I don't even think Robert Hassell, the high floor prospect of the bench, should be considered until he hits in Harrisburg.I agree. House, Green, Vaquero, Hassell, Wood ... you cant count on these guys in any roster construction.
The DH makes roster construction easier for the NL. It's awful for baseball, they can still take advantage of it.

Oh, sure, depending on his health, but if that position is going to be House's in 2026, I think a viable strategy would be to bring in a guy you have more confidence in. You can always DH the signee. Kieboom maybe could be in the mix for 2d as well, or Garcia in left if you really, really like his bat but hate his glove.I don't think you can build a roster spot around a guy who has never hit in AA.

Oh, not mentioned is Corbin, Strasburg, Ross, or Rainey. I'm assuming Rainey starts the year on the 60 day IL recovering. I don't count on anything out of Strasburg or Ross. As for Corbin, I'd try to make the bullpen move work.
At some point, I'm going to break things up and start a speculating about 2023 thread, but as I see it, I rough out the line up as the following, with long term pieces in bold:CJ Abrams, SS
C - Ruiz, Adams / Pineda
1B - Voit / Meneses
2d - Garcia
SS- Abrams
3d - free agent ???
LF - free agent / Thomas/ Palacios/ Yadi ???
CF - ??? / Thomas / Robles*
RF - Meneses / Palacios
DH - Yadi / Voit / Meneses
Rotation - Gray / Gore / Cavalli / Fedde / Espino (or FA)
Pen - Finnegan / Edwards / Harvey ...
Robles will be an interesting call. He's going into his second year of arbitration coming off of earning $1.65 million. As bad as he is, he is due a bump up, perhaps to $2 million. I wonder if they cut him like they did with Taylor when he started getting too expensive. If he is due $2.5 millioin or more, then I don't think there's much of a question.
