If Moncada goes 0-4 today they should never bat him leadoff again.

How do you expect for him to develop into a lead off hitter then

Matt Skole still getting ABs is atrocious.

Touche.

He's not a leadoff hitter. That should be Robert's spot. Moncada is a modern day #2. 

Unless you think Cease is a reliever, you shouldn't want an opener for him. He's gotta develop a pitch vs lefties. He should experiment with a cutter and a splitter this winter if he's not confident enough in his change to use it in games.

Those pitches shouldve been Collins'. Skole had 3 rolling breaking pitches all down the middle and barely fouled them off. We're shouldnt see him anymore after this year

Yo should be 2 or 3 in the order.  But he is a perfect 2 hitter.

Top three in May 2020 should be Robert, Moncada, Jimenez. Put those three there in permanent ink.

Ew. Then move Moncada and Jimenez down one spot. 

Madrigal is more of your traditional leadoff hitter. (Pre-moneyball)

That shirt about bunting from Cleveland was wonderful. Everyone at GRF needs to wear that. 

It read: 

How to bunt: 

1. Don't 

2. Hit a dinger

I'm shocked how easily MLB hitters are laying off of Cease's breaking balls. Yes, both of them. They're just spitting on his curve and slider.

And they're gonna keep spitting on them until he shows he can consistently throw his fastball for strikes.
