Your August 3rd starting lineup:

1. Lane Thomas (LF)
2. Luis Garcia (SS)
3. Kiebert Ruiz (C)
4. Riley Adams (DH)
5. Joey Meneses (1B)
6. Jake Noll (RF)
7. Ceasar Hernandez (2B)
8. Maikal Franco (3B) (though I suspect he's traded)
9. Victor Robles (CF)

 
  I would hope we'd have at least one guy we acquire walk into the lineup.  I'd like to emerge from the season with 4+ guys you could credibly play everyday, and a rotation with a rotation that has more arms than Fedde, Corbin, and Gray.  The latter might be internally grown if Cavalli and Henry are up, so position players are the priority, I/M/O. 

FWIW, that line up has 3 guys with positive fWAR - Ruiz (1.1), Robles (0.7), and Garcia (0.1). It's weird to say, but other than June (when he lost playing time), Robles has been sort of what we wanted - great D and a .240 - .250 batting average, .310 OBP, maybe .320 SLG.
