If (or when) the 2020 Major League Baseball season begins, it's a near certainty the league will employ a universal designated hitter. That means the Pirates' Derek Shelton will have options to help bolster his lineup.
Minds will immediately gravitate to one player: Josh Bell.
All Bell did in 2019 was hit 37 home runs and ring up 116 RBIs, slashing .277/.367/.569 across an All-Star campaign. But he struggles on defense. Waiting in the minors is Will Craig, a Gold Glove-winning first baseman who also provides some pop, so the idea here seems obvious.
