I don't know what acuna's value is right now beyond pinch running. And O'Doyle can do that. Would rather have a guy with power off the bench.Acuna's value is that he is a legit MLB SS. Nobody else on the roster other than Colson is. They clearly don't want to play Meidroth there, and for good reason.

They do play him at shortstop — Meidroth has played shortstop 16 times this season, and he has graded out fine if not slightly above average. I've thought he looks good there as well

As I understand it, it has more to do with their lack of outfield depth. They are limited there which causes Antonocci to play LF. Since he has to play there pretty much everyday, Chase is best suited to play most days at 2B. If Vargas played 2B, it would give them more flexibility.

15 hours ago15 hr Eugenio Suarez OPS while helping Venezuela win the WBC this year -- 1.247. You think this guy might like big moments?
15 hours ago15 hr Suarez has actually been awful against lefties this year. He wasn't good against them last year either.
