Luis Lara's playing time...

[TURBO]

I said this in another thread, but it seems like a decent topic for discussion.

Since we have too many cooks for the kitchen now that Lockridge will be returning shortly, what does this mean for Lara's playing time?  At some point, Frelick will be back as well, and I don't see him being sent down to AAA, probably a short rehab, maybe?

In all seriousness, we might as well send Lara back down to Nashville.  Lockridge being back is probably going to cut Lara's playing time down even more.

There is no sense in having Lara on the roster if he gets 2-3 starts a week, and gets pinch hit for in the later innings in the games he does start.

I was really hoping he'd get regular playing time from the get-go, but that isn't how Murphy does things.

I’m probably in the minority, but I don’t really mind him being the 4th outfielder.

who knows what happens at the deadline. If the Brewers add a complementary bat who plays corner outfield, Lara may get optioned if Frelick returns at some point.
