Also, Oakland snagged Fiers.
Realllllly hope we get this done.McCutchen is the best fit. He would be 4th on this team in OPS and 3rd in OBP. He'd better in RF but could play CF if needed to give Martin a day off. He's been solid in the postseason, although that was admittedly when he was a bit younger.
S-SS-Lindor
L-LF-Brantley
S-3B-Ramirez
R-DH-Encarnacion
R-RF-McCutchen
L-1B-Alonso
L-2B-Kipnis
R-C-Gomes
L-CF-Martin
All of the sudden, the lineup looks a lot better. You could even consider batting McCutchen higher and moving EE down in the process.
I think we're set in that department come postseason.We added Joe Smith at the last minute last year, are there any relievers that should be on our radar?
This would be.....awesome.Pass on both of them. The only player who will potentially hit the waiver market that does much for me is McCutchen. He makes so much sense for this current club, so let’s hope they can pull it off.
I keep coming back to this team needing Cutch and hoping they can land him.
Vs Lefties I'd trot out:
Lindor SS
Brantley LF
Ramirez 3B
Encarnicion 1B
McCutchen RF
Guyer DH
Kipnis 2B
Gomes C
Martin CF
I would basically platoon Guyer and Yonder. Guyer is sporting a .950 OPS vs Yonder's .670
Mauer wouldn’t be a bad addition if we could get him for cheap and the pay most of his salary.
Why not put him in center field?For...what?
You can play one DH and one first baseman.
