They desperately need someone who can play shortstop well, other than Baez.    Gotta be someone they can get. 

Jake Rogers has one hell of a forehead. 

Should probably put Urshela there.

Kriedler is just about back to Toledo or just recently back.

Javy is fine. We could carry his bat if others hit consistently. His defense and baserunning is very entertaining.

But when he DOESN'T play.  They really don't have a  shortstop, they have a few guys that could play shortstop, but not an actual shortstop-first guy.    If Kreidler stays healthy 30 days in a row, maybe, but I will have to see that to believe it........ The Rendon Plan is supposed to work like this.  Sign the fat contract THEN get hurt and THEN after getting your guaranteed money tell the fanbase baseball isn't important to you.   Kreidler messed up the order.

No matter who starts at SS, who is on the roster now, Javy should be a defensive replacement in later innings with the lead. That was lazy managing.

Remember when Brad Ausmus used to leave a guy in past the point of no return to “give him confidence?”

Leyland's theory...put enough pitchers in there and one of them will give it up. Of course, that was about 20 years ago.

Reliever roulette.  In general I tend to agree with him.

That’s makes sense on paper, although it is offset somewhat by the inherent advantage new pitchers have when they come into the game at first.

Sure, as well as playing handedness or hitting type matchups.  But that rewards could be all for naught if a reliever just ain't got it that day.  That's the risk.
