So will Dubon then just rotate between 2B, 3B, and the OF to give guys days off?


I would assume so. Dusty can have more guys rotate at DH and stick Dubon in the field.

My belief is they will still slow play Jose some, some off days, some DH days allowing Dubon to play second and Yordan in LF

Then play Dubon in LF and have Yordan DH, then when necessary, DH tucker and Dubon in Right, Sit Pena, Dubon at SS, and maybe occasionally start him in CF. On the rare occasions Bregman sits Dubon would play third. That keeps him in the lineup 5-7 days a week maybe 6

I dont personally like the idea of him batting second, he hits too many ground balls leading to double plays so id go something similar to:

Altuve
Pena
Yordan
Ted
Bregman
Abreu
Diaz
Jake/Chaz
Dubon

I think the safest bet is Altuve is leading off and everyone else stays the same. Then Dubon will just be inserted in the spot of whoever comes out of the lineup unless it's Yordan or Tucker.

Ugh can't believe we're calling up some midget batting .091 in the minors. This franchise is the worst

Lineup predictions?

Altuve 2B
Peña SS
Yordan DH
Bregman 3B
Tucker RF
Abreu 1B
McCormick LF
Diaz C
Dubon CF

Bielak P

It'll be interesting to see how and where Dubon plays now. I NEVER thought I'd say this, but he needs to be in the lineup. I still think Meyers is the odd man out in this. I'd keep Julks.

"We really want to ease him back. Don't want to rush things. I figured activating him was enough for now. We will reevaluate tomorrow." - Dusty, probably.

I look forward to people here calling Dusty an idiot for not playing Dubon at 2nd by Saturday midnight.

Myers has been way more consistent than Julks has recently. think that is the corresponding move theyll announce today. Then when/if Mike comes back you'll see Hensley go down

Id never have Dubon in CF if the Myers/Chas are in the lineup though. so I would flip those, especially with Jake

I will be absolutely shocked if Meyers ends up being the one sent down.

I'd 100% keep Meyers. No drop off in CF defense, plus his bat as really come around lately.

Hensley or Salazar. You don't need 3 catchers and Hensley has no business currently being on a major league roster. I don't care if he can play 1st base.

That's great. I've always liked Will Clark; the only on field baseball I ever got came from Will Clark tossing the ball up to me after a catching a foul ball for a 3rd out almost in the stands.

Speaking of Will Clark; he has to be tormented by his stats. He's one of those Lance Berkman/Roy Oswalt types that is Hall of Great, but not quite Hall of Fame. His numbers are SO CLOSE.

Yordan

It's not just no drop off, he's tied for second in the league in outs above average with the likes of Bellinger and Marsh. Meyers isn't going anywhere.

That was fantastic. Thanks for sharing Farmer! Being a lefty 1B/OF myself, I always really liked Will as well. I tried to emulate his sweet swing thousands of times.
