February 28, 20206 yr 27 minutes ago, Y2Jimmy0 said: Grandal had a 138 wRC+ vs LHP last year. If James McCann is the opening day catcher, Rick Renteria should be fired. McCann's was 132 against LHP, it's not some huge drop off. I could see Grandal getting the start just because it's opening day, but McCann is going to catch Giolito more often than not and get some starts against LHPs. There's no reason to try to push Grandal into catching more than 120ish games.

February 29, 20206 yr This won't be the opening day line up but this it what the line up should settle into- Robert Moncada Eloy Abeu EE Grandal Anderson Mazara Madrigal
March 2, 20206 yr Moncada has said many times now that he doesn't like leading off. Why would him leading off still be a consideration?
