Squirmin' for Yermin

Lets say vaugn is in LF and Collins at DH. In the 7th inning can we replace hamilton with collins and then switch the hamilton and Vaughn positions so the defense is there while keeping vaughns bat? Unsure of the DH rules.

Whatcha mean?

You should call Vegas and say you want the line under at 86.5. I bet they'd give you like +250 for thaat.

Which means it's right in the middle. If you're every wondering about projections, use Vegas. They're the smartest.

I think you forgot to put Yermin in the 4 hole

I'd have rather kept Mendick over Lamb if those were the two options.

We may be the 2nd best AL team still along with the Twins. The AL is bad. Our lineup is still Top 5 in AL, our Bullpen is #1, our big question is backend of rotation.

No, Collins will be backup and Mercedes will cover DH when that happens.

Yes, it is assumed.

Vaughn LF, Collins DH vs RHP + primary backup C. Yermin DH vs LHP + when Grandal sits and Collins catches. With Eloy out, both having can work.

Can we send him to the minors without him opting out?

He also is DH insurance if Collins and Yermin can't handle it, maybe?

Lucroy without a doubt is a worse hitter than both. That's unquestioned. His catching is better. I think we need the bat now more than the defense with Eloy out. Gimme both bats.

I like this. Assumin MiLB?

Collins and Yermin, BRING IT BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

And all the world will rejoice.

Making sure no Pec muscle damage maybe?

Andrew Vaughn or a trade. Love the idea of Haniger, if the Mariners want to move him with Kelenic and Rodriguez coming in the first month or so.

Because you have Eloy and Vaughn in positions that don't work long term (if we are looking for long term success).

Vaughn will go to first when Abreu's contract is up. Just has to last 2 years

Absolutely. That's the goal.

We are not doing this so we can get Collins bat in the lineup. We are doing it so we can keep both Vaughn and Eloy long term. This isn't that hard to figure out

Yes, I think Vaughn will be slower, and not take good routes. HOWEVER, I don't think he will be as boneheaded. And that can make all the difference in the world. We only need one of them out there for 2 years.

Eloy couldn't even make every play a normal left fielder could.. Chill.

Did he actually catch a ball?
