Baty to LF?

If Bo is gonna play 3B, is Baty in opening day lineup? If he can play a solid LF then it solves a lot of problems. Can he? If so, then opening day lineup looks something like this

  1. Lindor (SS)
  2. Bichette (3B)
  3. Soto (RF)
  4. Polanco (1B)
  5. Baty (LF)
  6. Semien (2B)
  7. Vientos (DH)
  8. Alvarez (C)
  9. Taylor (CF)

side question - do you bat Soto before or after Bichette?

side note: a lot of ppl will cry that taylor can't start. rafael santana batted .218 with one homer for the 86 mets with great defense at SS, and they won 108. obviously not apples to apples, but it's ok to have one lineup spot occupied by a bad hitter who plays great defense in a prime position, imo. just one though!
