Love the idea of a defensive alignment in the OF for Saunders (which includes Morse?). He showed what he needed to show last night. If we "only" have #3-#5's who 100 OPS+er to go along with Felix and Iwakuma AND our pen, we will be darn tough....scoring any runs at all.
A questioni: How long do we wait to Buster Posey Zunino, if he keeps raking like this? I'm taking the over on this one, just because we have no place to go, line-up wise, if we add him. Well, except cutting Bay, demoting Smoak or waiving Shoppach. I don't see any of those things happening in the next 40 games. Maybe the Bay thing, but that means Raul really-truely become our 4th OF.
We're in a funny place. Wedge was uncomfortable using a single BU catcher last year as DH, and DH is where Montero goes when Zunino comes up. So we likely keep another catcher.
There's a weird structure to the roster that makes calling up your #1 prospect, who appears to be ready, tricky.
Smoak is a worry. No new news there, though. And is it only me or does it look like Ackley is too intent on the LF gap? I must admit I missed his hit last night but I wouldn't mind seeing him try to punish the RF wall a bit.
But I digress.
Go get 'em tonight kid.
