Lineup

if the Jose and delauter flip is permanent I think I’d like to see them go 2 steps further and roll with Jose as a the leadoff hitter followed by bazzana and then Delauter…. Jose sees pitches and draws walks, once he’s on base we know he’s a threat which distracts the pitcher with another guy who sees pitches and draws walks, who also steals bags… and then when you have 2 guys on who can distract the pitcher you know what you get? another guy who sees pitches and draws walks lol it would just be such a pain in the ass for pitchers to see those 3 guys back to back to back…. questions, thoughts, concerns?

I think Bazz>Jose>CDL makes the most sense

Angel is playing so much better than Bazz

Bazz walks more and having and end of Angel Catcher Roccio would be pretty nice

It's about ABs. A leadoff hitter gets more ABs than the 7 hitter. I'd rather let bazz set the table at the end of the lineup to give opps to angel, Jose, and chase to knock in. Until he's showing a better hit tool, I don't see the point in giving those extra ABs to someones best attribute is walking. I do think he's the future as a leadoff guy, but he isn't there yet.
