Keaschall has to be option #1. There is not another defensive position for him. He doesnt have the slick fielding chops for 2b and no where near the arm for the outfield. Plus Emma and walker j are NOW. Bu5, his bat has to be in the lineup. 1b is his future.

varland would have been much more valuable with successful closing experience. He would have surely gotten that chance for the remainder of this year and next. If we still stink next yr trade him then. There is no difference between 5 yrs of control or 4yrs. There was no need to trade him now. Build the value.

Love this idea, however, might it work even better in reverse? Give the less "important" relievers the schedule leaving the rogers, duffy, romo for the high leverage. I think the biggest key might be not pitching guys on back to back days.
