    When healthy replace Bregman at SS with Correa and place Bregman at 3rd base.

    What if he shows up big in the postseason and is a part of this year's title run?

    Regular season team, I'm assuming. Trout only has 1 more postseason home run than I do (and the same number of postseason wins), but nobody doubts his generational greatness.

    I don't know what to say about the right side of the IF, but I completely agree with the left side. That would piss a lot of dedicated AL shortstops off to have Bregman there, but I dare anyone to argue against it.

    I agree with @msn on the SPs. As for relievers, not enough experience there, but to not be greedy, I'll pick 2/3 of our obvious choices, and I'm going to go with Harris and Osuna (and Aroldis as your other closer option). Earlier in the year Pressly would be a lock, but I want to see him get back to that after the injuries.

    Move Bregman to 3rd and have Xander at SS. Christian Vazquez is probably your C (sad state of AL Catchers).
