  1. Anyone have an explanation for what’s caused Duran’s fall off this year? I know there were the injury issues early in the season, but his velo seems down all year long and his control has struggled.
  2. I like the availability, but we didn’t give him the extension to be an above average DH. I’d want to see some reps in CF, even if it’s light at the beginning. I think this becomes much more of a question once Larnach/Kep/Polo are all back along with Royce. Would love to see something like: C: Vazquez 1B/OF: Kirilloff 2B: Polanco 3B: Lewis SS: Correa OF/1B: Gallo CF: Buxton OF: Larnach/Kepler Bench: Farmer, Jeffers, Solano, MAT Optioned: Garlick, Wallner, Julien, Castro Use the DH spot to give everyone more rest days, especially those coming off of IL stints like Polo, Kep, Correa etc.
  3. Based on the early returns, I’d consider playing Farmer a bit more, with Gordon as a true super-utility guy.
  4. Forgot it was April 15th, for whatever reason I thought it was sooner. In that case, my lineup card would be something like: 1. Buxton-DH 2. Correa-SS3. Larnach-LF4. Gallo-1B5. Miranda-3B 6. Wallner-RF7. Farmer/Gordon-2B8. Vazquez/Jeffers-C9. Taylor-CF
  5. A few assumptions to lay out here: 1. Buxton will be at DH for the rest of April 2. Polanco wont be in the lineup until May 3. Gallo, Correa, and Kepler will be available Here are my thoughts based on what we’ve seen thus far: 1. Kepler-RF 2. Buxton-DH 3. Correa-SS 4. Larnach-LF 5. Gallo-1B 6. Miranda-3B 7. Farmer/Gordon-2B 8. Vazquez/Jeffers-C 9. Taylor-CF A few considerations that are worth discussing: 1. Kepler: To me, if Kepler is getting at-bats, we should really consider playing him in CF (with Taylor available off the bench as a defensive replacement). I know we’re giving something up defensively, but a Larnach/Kepler/Wallner outfield could be worth trying out in April. 2. Miranda: I do think he would benefit from moving down the order, because I see him trying to do a little too much at the plate. His BABIP hasn’t been bad, but why not protect the kid for a bit?
