Another way to look at it: who else on this team would you trust at the plate with runners on base more than Mark Canha at this point?

Argument could be made for Gio Urshela just because he's had a knack for getting the big hit and having decent bat to ball skills, but other than that, I'm not sure there is one. That includes Riley Greene as well

Is it just me or does it seem like Greene's swing has gotten more uppercutty?

So it seems to have been assumed that Gio was only going to see LHP, but so far this season he is having no trouble against RHP. If you look at last season, he did have a pretty large platoon split, but interestingly, two years ago he didn't and for his career he doesn't, so maybe he could provide a little more against RHP if Hinch gives him the chance because the glove is all it was advertised to be.
