Ibanez is only other choice to play 2B. Not my choice either way.

move Ibanez and bring up Duran

Do you mean later because it won't happen before game time.

not now it is too late but it should happen soon

Culberson would be gone before Ibanez

one or the other. makes no never mind to me but Ibanez could be moved to AAA while Culberson would have to be released

 

[DTC]

move Ibanez and bring up Duran

Foscue would be a good option as well. They both have a .910-.920 OPS

 

[Kelleyman]

Josh Smith is leading off.

This is what I have waiting for. Maybe he is the leadoff hitter for years to come.

He got the walk yesterday when we needed it but Reks evidently chases letting his enthusiasm get ahead of smart baseball moves

we need to see both at some point but Duran is already on the 40-man

 

[Kelleyman]

interesting lineup. Seager with a much needed day off.

Was hoping it was Semien but makes sense

 

[scotsman1948]

Was hoping it was Semien but makes sense

probably next on the agenda

 

[Kelleyman]

move Ibanez and bring up Duran

I don’t want Duran up unless he plays regularly

Noticing the Smith looks firm at 3B. This is starting to look permanent to me. Betting Ibanez will become the odd man out leaving Miller and Culbertson as utility guys

 

[Kelleyman]

Culberson would be gone before Ibanez

Seem like they could option IBAnez

Ah, duh lol
Forgot that important tidbit

 

[DT LUNA]

He needs something.

 

[DTC]

He needs something.

Maybe move him to the 6th spot

I don't think Corey has had one yet, and over the past 2 weeks Semien has better numbers.

 

[DT LUNA]

Maybe move him to the 6th spot

Maybe b/c he does not need to be in the 1/2 hole until he gets his act together.

This thread has the most comments of any regular season thread so far this season.

Shoutout to new guy @armadillooutlaw for contributing

I believe Foscue was just put on the DL, again.

I wonder if the hitters know his pitch types have their own location.
For RHB
Cutter inside—curve slightly inside, sinker in the middle and change up outside.
