Thought we might see MVPeña get a day off after getting beaned in the hand, but good to see him in there.
This is the 24th game where Chas, Jake, and Corey have all been available. Chas has started 19 Corey has started 13 Jake has started 10 In what world should Julks get more playing time than Meyers?
One of the 3 outfielders will get traded....so don't mind Julks getting time to up his value for deadline.
Julks has virtually no value in a trade, maybe we can get some very low level fringe prospect if he can put together a hot streak for a couple of weeks. He wasn't taken in the rule 5 draft when teams could have had him for free, and nothing about his profile this season would change that. His numbers are bad, and his expected stats are even worse. His 35 to 3 K/BB rate is about as bad as you will ever see.
Other than we’d be better off with Meyers or a Dubon than Julks (and Abreu hitting lower) this is about the best lineup one could hope for from Dusty.
What worries me is we get Dubon having a good year, and now is Dusty only going to play him when Altuve sits, because he is the only backup infielder?
