Last year he was going to wear down throwing like 30 inning total the 2 seasons prior. They should have managed the innings better instead of riding him early. Not that crazy to think he pitches more innings than last year.
@poppysox was pretty much the ringleader but there were def a few others that didn’t want Conforto (or anyone else) in RF. They said we were fine with Sheets and Vaughn in right. This exists somewhere in the off-season threads.
I agree that it should be Engel in there for defense with the current options. But I guess giving Grandal a lot of rest from catching early in the season can be a positive?
Isn’t there a new rule about how often guys can be sent down in a season now? Maybe that is a small factor? Either way, let Burger get every day at bats at Charlotte. That is fine.
