Agree with Donnie here

I think if you're getting a new catcher, that is in the context of ditching Sanchez.

Hicks is a decent defensive CF.  He is early into a long contract, and isn't going anywhere.  His average sucks, but he gets on base.  He's just in the wrong spot in the order

That moves Stanton to DH.  I don't want give up on Andujar either after that great rookie year.  He can be DH when Stanton inevitably gets hurt, or can fill in at 3B if something happens to Gio

The real lucky/awesome part is how good the IF panned out.  If someone told me a year ago that Greg Bird would be a bust, Didi would be gone, and Andujar would be hurt, I would think we would be in real trouble.  Instead Gleybar is on the verge of greatness, DJ is an All star, and Gio/Luke were straight up steals.  Does anyone miss Chasen Shreve?

Also if going through this exercise, have to be realistic about contracts.  Sanchez can be moved since he isn't locked into anything.  Stanton/Hicks would require eating the vast majority, so need to make the best of it.
