A slimmed-down Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is vowing to make a move back across the diamond to third base. How would such a move trickle down on the rest of the TOR roster. Also: BAL overhauls its middle infield, BOS may be saving a place for an OF prospect, NYY have some rotation holes, while TAM has a 3B logjam.

Back in late June and July, BaseballHQ's brain trust took their best stabs at the best strategies to deploy in a 60-game season. What did we get right, what did we get wrong, and where do we go from here?

Alejandro Kirk in TOR is one of several AL East players who may not have been around for most of the 2020 season but could have big roles in 2021. Others include teammate Groshans, Akin and Kremer in BAL, Arroyo and Munoz in BOS, Schmidt in NYY, and Franco, Brujan and Honeywell in TAM.

BAL's Keegan Akin, along with teammate Dean Kremer and Tanner Houck of BOS, are among the names to know as some AL East teams look at young arms in the season's final days. Which are worth rostering? Also: bodies back in NYY, Meadows' minor injury in TAM and rotation woes in TOR.

Pressed into outfield service, Yairo Munoz has become an instant sensation in BOS. But might the team have other plans for him in 2021? Also: Stewart's surge in BAL, Sanchez's struggles in NYY, lefty lows in TAM and why it might be time to cut bait with Fisher in TOR.

The herd in the BAL bullpen has been thinned significantly, leaving a two-man battle for whatever remaining saves may be available. Also: playing out the string in BOS, rotation thoughts in NYY, Tsutsugo's slippage in TAM and Bichette's return in TOR.

In BAL, it seems like the light may have come on for Cedric Mullins, but looks can be deceiving. Also: An unlikely trade candidate in BOS, injury woes pile up in NYY, Renfroe loses AB in TAM, and last call to get on board with Merryweather in TOR.

Seven relievers, including Aaron Slegers (shown) have earned saves for TAM in 2020. But what might the future hold? Also: Trade musings in BAL, BOS; middle infield injury woes in NYY and a rotation need in TOR.

Mike Zunino may have finally run out of chances as Tampa's main catcher, but can Michael Perez capitalize? Also: Iglesias' injury in BAL, Arroyo's opportunity in BOS, Schmidt sits and waits in NYY and bullpen thoughts in TOR.

Andrew Benintendi is testing the extent of his manager's patience with his slow start, as new teammate Kevin Pillar has started fast. Also: Stewart's demotion in BAL, rotation concerns in NYY, Margot's absence in TAM and Tellez's opportunity in TOR.

Anthony Bass grabbed the first save in TOR after Ken Giles' injury. But might you want to pass on Bass and hook a rook named Romano instead? Also: Davis' status in BAL, Workman's shakiness in BOS, Paxton's health in NYY and Anderson's save chances in TAM.
