Mex's first 2018 projection thread

It's a little early, but the Ramos trade sort of kicked my brain into gear. Let me try to sort the 2018 team (as of right now) into a few categories. . . Stone cold lead pipe blocks (barring injury or lack of recovery from existing injury): Cespedes in LF Conforto in one of the other two outfield positions Syndergaard and deGrom at the top of the rotation Familia as the closer Ramos in the eighth inning Blevins in a prominent bullpen role Dominic Smith at 1b Rosario at SS Certain to be on the team (barring trade) but not certain of role/performance level: Harvey/Wheeler/Matz/Lugo/Gsellman T.J. Rivera Flores Sewald Edgin Uncertain to return or be retained: Bruce Walker Reyes d'Arnaud Lagares Rene Rivera Montero Robles Nimmo Reynolds Goeddel Smoker Pill Plawecki Wright Absolutely gone: Reed Cabrera Granderson Salas Milone Question Marks/Needs: Catcher 1/3 of outfield Second Base Third Base Makeup of rotation following Syndergaard/deGrom Rounding out of bullpen Waiting in the wings: Drew Smith Flexen

I'm not so sure that Cabrera is "absolutely gone", nor that Dominic Smith is a sure thing at first base for 2018. But, we'll see...

Regarding Smith and Rosario, the performance level is certainly not a sure thing but their roles most definitely are. They are going to roll them out at first base and shortstop respectively every day, I'm sure of that. Regarding Cabrera, if the reports are to be believed there is enough interest in him that he is sure to be moved in the next few days.
