Burger 3B, Mendick 2B, TA SS and Vaughn 1B. Abreu to DH. Engel in RF, Pollock in LF, Robert in CF. Yaz and McGuire at C.
That is the starting lineup I would run out there for a couple weeks at least once TA gets back.
Any win is big for this team right now. Have to stay within striking distance of the Twinkies.
Have to give Burger the 3B job and sit Moncada. Let him PH and come in for defense late.
Give Mendick 2B and hope he can stay hot for awhile. No matter what he is better than Harrison.
They will have to make a couple deals before the deadline for a 2B and another corner outfielder.
Yea he has the worst body language out there but he definitely slowed down reaching 1st and had a slight limp. I won't be surprised if they just put him on the IL after today.
How much do you think it has affected Vaughn having to play the OF and not getting to play his natural position? I look at Torkelson with the Tigers and it was the same situation only Cabrera gave up playing 1st so Torkelson could play his natural position.
All this playing guys in positions they have no business playing has just been one of the reasons this team is a disaster. Sheets, Jimenez, and Vaughn are all being asked to play the outfield and not one of them should be out there.
