Free Agents at Positional Needs

I think most of us would agree our biggest needs on the field are at 1B, LF/CF, and depending on how much you love Maldy, C as well. Here are some the top free agents at each position ordered by fWAR (2021-2022) from MLB.com.

Brantley is 36 w/ 3.4 WAR but formatting issues kept me from putting him under LF. Anyways, which players are targeted will largely depend on if JV resigns. So who would you want the Astros to go after? Say in each scenario where JV comes back or leaves. The players don't have to be on this list as some under RF and DH are interesting picks as well. Throw in some trades if you so desire.

Personally, I prefer JV to resign, bring Brantley and Yuli back on 1 year deals, and sign Abreu for 1B/DH. If JV leaves, I'd like to go after Bell for a more permanent solution at 1B and hell go for Nimmo and move Chas to LF as I'm sure Nimmo will want to stay in CF even though I prefer Chas there defensively. Risky given Nimmo's injury past I admit.
