Good point. Forgot about AV

This is like the third time i've entered this thread and saw this post and groaned to myself about another PPD. 

yeah i think reopening postponed gamethreads is not a very good idea. I legit thought tonight was postponed for a while until i reentered the thread and looked at the timestamp.

He unfortunately has been somewhat forgettable lately.

You guys think Hamilton is going to play OF ? Remember it was said he would only hit RH when he came back and the Twins starter is RH. If Hamilton is terrible against RHP hitting LH  you think he's going to play against them hitting RH ? I mean he could because can it actually be much worse than him hitting lefty ?

But I'm looking at Vaughn ,Goodwin and Sheets from L to R.

I do only because I think that OF of Vaughn Goodwin Sheets is terrible.

Maybe it won't be too bad. Might be funny if Billy bats RH against Maeda . Interested in seeing that just to see if he does anything besides K.

I think the admin could've hidden that post if he realized it was there. It probably should be. I would have if I could've but I can only edit the title and opening post as the thread starter.

R SS Anderson
L CF Goodwin
S 3B Moncada
S 1B Grandal
R DH Mercedes
L RF Sheets
R LF Vaughn
L C  Collins
S 2B Garcia

That's my guess for the lineup.

I think Tony will stick Hamilton out in CF because it's a defensive upgrade over Goodwin. And yeah, I forgot that Gio is pitching to Collins at C, Grandal at 1B and Abreu at DH.

No Moncada yay

Why isn't Grandal at 1B and Abreu at DH?

But why? He has a day off yesterday. 

3 MLB hitters (Timmy, Abreu, Grandal)

2 potential raw MLB hitters (Vaughn and Sheets)

4 AAA hitters (Goodwin, Collins, Garcia, Mendick)

Top notch lineup there ?

He is pretty obviously tweeked somewhere.  Giving him a couple of days is fine by me.

To be fair, Moncada is always tweaked somewhere. But yeah, I guess.  Would rather give Abreu a breather - Moncada just sat out for a few days not too long ago.  BUt if he needs another day, he needs another day.

Traded for Charlie Blackmon to make room for Jake Burger

Makes sense. Chick will be happy!  Guy sucks anyway.

Collins fits into the category of MLB platoon hitters.

He's a top 3/4 hitter on the team against RHP this year. His overall numbers just look much worse because he starts against the majority of LHP that we face

Right now, with the game on the line vs RHP, I'd feel better about Collins at the plate than even Abreu or Anderson.

A guy at the game the other day put it best, Moncada is a grape.  

Always something. 

Meanwhile Abreu takes a 96 MPH gunshot to the knee, "I'm good.  Let's go skip. "

Yeah I love Abreu battling through all these injuries and contributing nothing on offense because of it.

Right, because they are so stacked on the bench with so many better options.
