I suppose we’ll see Gleyber at SS and Walker playing 2B moving forward. Sucks for Didi They might like Hechavarria better at SS and leave Gleyber at 2B. |

Most definitely...Can’t afford to give away any more outs than this team does already. Gleyber’s future may someday include him starting st SS, but his .923 fielding pct. at SS says he tries to make the heroic play too often from that position at this point in his career...
Didi makes great plays from SS because he’s fundamentally sound...and like Gleyber, has a great arm...

How much do you like Neil Walker? Its Neil Walker's offensive upgrade vs. Hechavarria's defensive upgrade.

Check his splits. He creates the illusion of being a productive hitter more than he actually is a productive hitter. August - 214/.309/.440/750 Sept - 167/.286/.300/.586 So between two guys who don’t hit much, take the guy who can field and leave Gleyber at 2nd and Walker if needed on the bench. |

Yea, I believe that's the way to go. Do you bench Sanchez for the wild card game if he continues to show no life at the plate? |

Too many holes with that lad right now... |

I don't think Boone and company will have the guts to do it though. |

Didi thinks he can play this year, although who knows. Might just be wishing.

I’d hate to see him re-injure himself. All we can do is hope for a wise decision...
Greedy me on left shoulder: “C’mon, Didi. We need you”.
Nicer me on right shoulder: “Protect yourself, Didi. Good teams have to be prepared for times like this.”
Middle me: “Just do what’s right”...

Yea, I believe that's the way to go. Do you bench Sanchez for the wild card game if he continues to show no life at the plate? I don’t know that they can bench him. Romine isn’t exactly a word class hitter or defensive catcher either, he’s just much better than most backup catchers. I would expect to see Romine get more playing time in the playoffs. Sanchez still offers upside that Romine doesn’t at then olaye if he can ever get his shit right. I continue to believe most of his issues are in his head and his approach at the plate. He’s taking pitches he should drive and then setting himself up to be exploited on pitches down and away over and over again. Hard to tell when or if a smarter approach clicks into place. We know he’s capable of it. |
