    Will Dusty have Maldy lead off the 9th?

    The other thing that happens when playing Maldy... Our 8th hitter has added pressure to do something in their AB and will over swing or chase.

    I bet if you take out Maldy for multiple games you'll see our 7th and 8th hole hitters doing much better

    If Chas doesn’t lead off the 9th, Dusty is even worse that I thought.

    Abreu is going to end up with an average in the .220s, ops of 600, and under 15 homers.....
    Plus an iron glove

    How do we get the worst case scenario with the J. Abreu signing. He was above .300 hitter last season and all baseball skills just evaporate. Baseball gods are truly cruel.

    It will be singleton batting for the fences and will strike out so he will eat on the bench as well

    Exactly, no point in Chas playing in this game if given the day off. Singleton should be it
