  1. Which of these OF's moves to SF first; Ramos, Gerber, Reed?
    Is there a 3B in AAA that will get a shot at SF?
    What about SS, can Avelino platoon with Craw?

    1. I'd like to see Henry Ramos get a chance at some point. Switch-hitter. Can play CF in a reserve role. Long history of strong minor league stats.

      We probably need to have a healthy dose of skepticism about AAA stats if they have injected the MLB ball into a league that was already extremely hitter friendly.

    2. About 3B, I assume Ryder jones is injured. He left the first game after 1 PA.

    3. It seems that Panik is no longer needed - Solarte (switch-hits) could be everyday 2B, Avelino utility 2B/SS (right handed bat) and Panda (switch-hits) utility 3B/1B - maybe Panik is the first to be traded out this year? In the OF, looks like it's settling as Belt/Parra Pillar Duggar/Parra (against RHP I assume Belt plays 1B and Austin sits). It'd be nice to see Gerber get the chance at Parra's gig...

  2. Can't beat winning (4-1) but Mac's played in just 2 of 5 games.
    LHB Gerber to replace Parra, in all 11 games, 6-30, .200/.294/.233?
