Notes 
 The biggest plus Andrew Vaughn has going this season is that Tony La Russa won't be there to block his playing time. He should also get to move back to the infield and play 1B now that Jose Abreu is in Houston. Vaughn has underestimated power and maintains a good batting average. With everyday playing time, 2023 could be a big year of growth for the 24-year-old.
Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
Jorge Polanco had an injury-plagued 2022 which undermined the fact that his stats when healthy were on par with his 2021 season. While he may not hit 30 bombs again, he is a middle infielder who will protect your slash line and should land in the 25/75/75 range in counting stats. With an ADP in the 150s, there is no reason to shy away from him in 2023.
