    If Click was the GM when Chas comes back, he'd option Hensley to force Dusty to play Diaz at 1B on Abreu's rest and semi-rest days.

    Julia bailed out Dusty after those horrendous at bats when Maldi was not pinch hit. I really don’t get it. Who goes down when Brantley gets back? They may have to delay Chas if Myers, Jules and Dubon keep it up.

    He's played IF before, so I would think that he can.

    Over in Atlanta, guys must be wondering what happened.

    I thought Dusty always "punts" getaway games.

    He’s never played 1b in the minors.

    If he's played IF and I think he's played 2nd and 3B. He can play 1st with a little work. I'm keeping him and sending Hensley to the minors. If Julks cant play 1B then Diaz would be playing 1B and Julks would be getting regular time at 2nd/3rd/OF.

    Gotta be cautious with Pressly early in the season since he pitched in the WBC, so he will be at his best later in the year when he's needed most.

    Pena last 58 ABs is hitting .224 with a .274 OBP.

    Bregman's Last 56 ABs, he's hitting .286 with a .429 OBP.

    Bregman is turning the corner.

    At the start of the broadcast today on MLBN the ATL broadcast crew chalked it up to bad luck. So we got lucky three games in a row? Just a **** excuse. Thank god TK and Blummer admit it when you just get beat by the better team that day
