Only 3 things seem certain with the lineup in regards to the order: TA will lead off, Abreu is entrenched in the 3-spot struggling or not, Eloy 4. Where anyone hits seems to be dependent on the handedness of the opposing starting pitcher.
Grandal will definitely help. Moncada is becoming frustrating and should move down.
I posted this in the game thread yesterday, but pretty crazy how we were a Machado signing away from Moncada being the long-term 2B.
I was just thinking post-Madrigal trade that we were a Manny Machado signing away from Moncada being the long-term 2B. Now he doesn’t seem like an option at all.
