Grandal is no longer an offensive threat to ever merit consideration for DH ABs.

I don't get why LaRussa doesn't get or why Hahn hasn't made a move already with the 3 catchers and actually getting a real bat in there. 

Grandal is history.

If Grandal isn't healthy enough to catch regularly, he should be on the IL. This roster can't afford to to give him regular DH ABs.

None of the pitchers lik throwing to him, he’s a butcher behind the plate.

Frankly should redo the whole lineup.  Pollock should never sit against LHP. 

Do you think TLR will realize the opposing pitcher changed before the game starts?

I'm not certain the power will return but I've been really happy with how he seems to be reinventing himself. 

Grandal is a second half hitter.  Last season he carried the lineup after the ASB.  Everyone doubting him is wrong.

$18M slap hitting DH.  Everything this team needs.

89 average EV with a 110 max EV since coming off the IL. Both of those numbers are good and would indicate he's still capable of hitting for power, but if you actually watch his ABs that obviously doesn't seem to be the case. He also is yet to record a barrel since coming off the IL which is a more useful/predictive stat to measure power anyways.

And Singer and Bubic have looked pretty good over their last few outings (especially Singer), so yeah, need to get this first one tonight!

Singer went 7 against the mighty Yankees and only gave up one hit - 0 runs!

Don't throw him a strike and he'll get himself out
