That's debatable.
From the perspective of what this team needs (RH power and good defense) it's Tulo. But is he even available, and what would he cost?
The next best option is Castro. He has shown he can hit at the ML level and has the range to be a good defensive SS. He's got character issues though.
Profar is the next best target, but he'll cost a ton in prospects and he was one of the worst players in baseball last year.
After that it's Drew, but he'll cost 4/50 and a first round pick, and he's a terrible, terrible hitter against lefties.
Peralta won't cost a pick, and he's a horse, but how much of his offensive profile is PED-related?
DJ loves Pastornicky, but I've seen the dude play like three ****ing games. I have no idea bout him.
You could also hope against hope that Greg Garcia turns into something.
