You mentioning the names triggered a question for me ... did anyone think it was strange that Payne hit the list but Fischer still hasn't? I guess to me that is saying that we generally are overrating him and his big power start this season. Thoughts?
Agreed. And they sorta seem they are thinking that way as well with Bauers getting some OF starts in Houston. If Vaughn for Frelick is a regular lineup change, that will definitely help lengthen the batting order.
I had thought in the spring he was solidly in the running for the 3B job, but obviously wasn't the case.
Love that line about the numbers in the minors being all liars this year!
He really doesn't seem to, even in interviews. Serious guy, pitching seriously well. Love the tandem type role that he and Patrick are being used in. Great use of having so many starters!
I would've had Pena in LF ... except now it seems Adamczewski is bookmarked for there.
So who is playing 2B? With potential power guys to play 3B, why wouldn't Pratt/Made be the middle infield?
