    ...we could stick Bregman at left to limit how much he is diving for catches...

    Tucker- RF
    Alvarez- LF
    Diaz- C
    Pena- SS
    1st baseman whoever the **** that is

    Not a bad idea depending on the details of his injury, but it sounded to me like the issue is throwing, so LF doesn’t really help in that way.

    I would say Yanier has earned the right to bat cleanup.

    I want Yordan getting as many AB's as possible and Diaz has provided great protection for Yordan. Plus we dont know how good Tucker will be coming back from a 2 1/2 month layoff.

    Diaz will get even more RBI chances batting 5th behind Yordan AND Tucker. I’m not wasting Tucker’s OBP (he is still 2nd on this team in walks despite missing so much time) by having him bat 5th and hoping the scrubs at the bottom of the lineup capitalize.

    I agree he has done his job and impressed.

    But if Tucker returns and Alex is healthy and in the lineup who do you drop to #5?

    It's a great problem to dream of having. I hope.

    The big dumper might be in jeopardy as Maldy is a package deal with Dusty

    Would love to see Maldy "fix" Seattle's rotation.

    “You think your starters are good now? Wait until Maldy gets ahold of them”

    - Dusty explaining to Dipoto why Maldy is a great pickup

    You dont know what they're going to get from Tucker.

    He can drive in Yordan, Yanier, Bregs etc... it's a great problem to have. I just know how clutch Yanier has been and I'm against moving his bat anywhere.
