Great start, but disagree about pulling Jenkins. With the MLB team’s penchant for platooning all young left handed hitters, I’d vote for Jenkins to face as many left handed pitchers as possible in AAA. Off days come against righties. He pinch hits against left handed relievers. He LEADS OFF against left handed starters.

This roster destroying platoon nonsense has to stop, but it might take sacrificing AAA production and wins to do so.

Sounds like it’s more of a health and not playing 9 innings thing (coming back from injury) over a matchup thing.

 

I'd want him facing as many lefties as possible as well.

Correct. The Twins are being careful early and with the cold weather, Jenkins sits today as well. Culpepper hits 3 run HR to tie game.

The Woo Sox were in Rochester. In the fifth inning,

I imagine they were the Paw Sox then...

(only made it to one game there with @ashbury but heard Pawtucket was very sad to lose 'em. Well... i been to the stadium more often, as they staged their St. Pattie's parade in the parking lot, which i marched in a few times)
