    Like others have said a Kemp/Gomez platoon makes sense and I like Kemp batting 9th.

    I like Gomez platooning with the water boy and the towel boy.

    Think that is basically what we see

    But we play against 4 LHP this week including tonight. If Gomez plays and Kemp sits tonight this forum will explode

    I would guess (and hope) Kemp faces Rodon tonight then Gomez gets the next Lefty. Gomez doesn't seem mentally ready to play at all though

    With Tucker gone, Gattis in AA, Marwin (possibly) hurt, it's likely Kemp and Moran will function as the DH, although they will also spend some time in the field while another guy DH's

    Missed that news, but the fact that Kratz got DFA'ed tells me he's our backup catcher now, so I don't see him DHing a ton, although I'm sure he will still DH some.

    remember last season when altuve was the DH and batting 1st? we could probably do that with kemp batting 9th the nights gattis plays catcher and have Moran alternate with valbuena. ouch my head hurts.
