    Tucker in RF kinda worries me a little bit, too.

    They just seem deadset on playing Evan Gattis and Chris Carter, come hell or high water, don't they?...

    Both Tucker and Gattis in the OF seems to be setting up for a disaster when you consider VV's fly ball rate.

    ^^ Tucker isn't awful. He's just not a CF playing a corner.

    His arm concerns me more than anything. He's done well at making the routine plays on balls in the outfield, but that arm strength though...

    Rasmus hurt, Correa scheduled day off, Singleton already in the lineup at 1st.

    They really don't have a great option to "not" play them at this time either.

    I really think even you would struggle with justifying Gattis over Santana is LF. Gattis shouldn't even own a glove...

    Santana was awful in the field yesterday. I doubt Gattis will flail-dive at a ball today, allowing it to get by him.

    Can't expect to shutdown a powerful KC team in every game.

    Velasquez just needs a little bit more polishing at the minor league level. He most definitely has the stuff, he now just has to learn when to use it.
