I am really liking more and more the idea of a real hit/def platoon as opposed to a straight LH/RH. With a RH on the mound, play Kim/Smith. With a LH on the mound, play Rickard/Tavarez. With Kim/Smith, you get strong hit/OBP and with Rickard/Tavarez, you get def with some hit (Rickard). This could turn into a real overall positive if Trumbo is a full time DH (and it's Miley you have to protect with good defense). If Tavarez/Santander don't stick then you have Trumbo/Mancini to replace - bad for defense but should be good for hitting. These are some potentially decent choices.Rogernoreply@blogger.com
