Just think about the possibility of leading off with Tucker. Follow him with Bregman, Then Alvarez followed by Altuve. Then Mancini, McCormick and Pena, Then catcher of the day and a Rookie.
I think Yuli has had a few hits against Ohtani and Peña may be hitless, of course in very limited at bats.
Hopefully A Diaz comes back raking. I say let him play first when he gets back and replace Yuli? Otherwise he can spell Peña at short stop . Diaz-Alvarez - Mancini can rotate between the field and DH. See how that jives
If they refuse to consolidate the top 5 hitters, I want Pena at 2. If they do, the above will work. In no event do I want Gurriel or Dubon in the top 7.
Don't know why Maldy is behind the plate again when Vasquez and Urquidy worked so well last game against the angels.
