Fermin needs to be our backstop full time next year, Sal can pick up a few random days here and there. Sal needs to be at 1B or DH. Same with Vinnie. They can switch off next year until Cags gets up to the Bigs.
Then you'll have a mess to figure out.

Salvy is still above average at throwing out runners and his framing was not far behind Fermin, which is obviously the hot catching stat these days. But I wonder if Fermin just ran out of gas. He didn't hit at all the last month or so.
