I guess we'll see when the next cut comes but Walnach hasn't shown too much. I'm waiting to see if Buck is in tonight's USA lineup.. I have read and agree that Tristan Gray will likely be on the team. I know they said he's fine but you know ..
I wonder if he's considering keeping one of the rookies in the roster (or if the brain trust will even allow that) such as Gonzalez, Rodriguez, or Culpeper?
Taj is effectively wild today. Four innings again but a nice lead even in spring training makes it easier. And while Buxton isn't there Aaron Judge isn't either.
I see Lee leading off as they're looking for a leadoff guy when Buck sits. I guess Keaschall and maybe Roden and Martin (laugh.. in) but not Brooks Lee.
I notice and approve how Alan Roden has suddenly been shuffled into the Rosario Gabby Culpeper Emmy deck.of cards.. almost like we lucked out in the trade last year. 😎
We know Gray and Arcia won't be regular fixtures. Where do you put Roden if he's a regular in the lineup. Bat second? Sixth?
I like him in a Keep the Train moving group.. maybe not around Wallner or Jeffers but maybe near Buxton or Lee in the batting order.
