Valencia not being a steaming pile of crap today.

Platoon Heredia and Gamel? Both are doing very well

That wouldn't hurt my feelings. Or three way rotation with them and Dyson.

Ben Gamel is the first #Mariners RF to reach base 5x in a game (w/out help from an error) since Ichiro.

Good to see Valencia get hot.... keep it coming. Realistically we kinda know the offense wasn't going to be much of an issue this year, the main concern remains to be the pitching. Regardless, it was very nice to see Miranda with a good outing.

Miranda has been great, seems to be a no brainer when Smyly and Felix are back he'll stay in the rotation.

I thought I was in an alternate reality last night with Valencia.

Ben Gamel had a hell of a game too.

Hard to leave out Gamel at this point.

Apparently hitting second for Mariners is good spot. Ben Gamel 2-for-2 with 2 BBs, 2 runs tonight. He's hit .310 since replacing Haniger.

If it were up to me the decision is between Gamel and Dyson. I think Gamel is better offensively but the OF defense as a whole would be much better with Dyson playing. Interesting decision tho, I personally want to Heredia playing every day

With M's luck, it probably won't be something that needs to be decided by a manager and will come down to last man standing. The good news in all this is for the last decade or so we could barely find one true outfielder each year on the roster. Now we may have to actually pick and choose between 4 or 5 for playing time. Nice problem and I give Dipoto credit for that.
