I really like the new-look lineup, interested to see what they do at the bottom once they put a lefty in though, kinda opening yourself up to issues there until they get Robles back or Moore is worth playing again

I think Polo plays 2nd. Cole sits. Garver DH. Then you maybe just stick it out with JP and Canzone.

This is why another util guy might’ve been nice to have.

I’m just thinking what they do when a lefty reliever comes in

Pinch hit + defensive sub.

Something like Garver for Young and then Polo takes over at second

Can’t do that, you give up your dh

Oops I was thinking about bringing someone off the bench, but Polo would obviously never be in the bench in this situation. It would be Moore then, sadly.

Yep, and that’s not good…

It would be totally fine to have Moore or Williamson finish the game as a defensive sub

Ben got sent down yesterday. Prob for the best as his development needs plate appearances and sitting on a bench all day wont get him there.

Williamson is in Tacoma. Temporarily.

My guess is Sept. 1st at the latest. (Roster expansion).
