As compared to last season, this one has been more enjoyable for me because Shelton done better with in-game decisions IMO than his predecessor. A little less analytical lockstep and a little more creative with calling/allowing for bunts, putting runners in motion, etc. He’s stuck with a flawed roster construction (that we regularly bemoan) but uses it well I think. That said, Caratini, regardless of switch hitting, shouldn’t be forced into the lineup for his bat, at least while he’s tanking. And he’s no great shakes defensively at 1B either.
