Given that Acuna's likely going to provide you a 35-40 HR bat for awhile, Camargo gives you 20+ as a corner OF if he's moved, and Riley gives you 25-30 bombs wherever he eventually plays, wouldn't it make much more sense to draft an infielder with similar pop who could always be transitioned to play on the grass? If Witt and Hinds have at least a chance to stick on the dirt while providing that kind of pop, I'd much rather have either/both personally.
