Palacios & Mercado have other roles on this team that Clement can't fill as well.Switch around Palacios/Mercado for Clement and I could see that. I don't think Clement is being sent down personally... Otherwise I don't actually have any qualms with your plan.
Palacios is proving himself to be a solid PH option. Can't say that for Ernie.
Mercado is the 1st pinch runner off the bench and is also the guy sent in late for D (replacing Franmil/ Oscar G & I suspect Nolan J)...
Again that D sub role in the OF is not a role for Ernie..

My suggestion is not to keep Nolan up all year.. Its to call him up now before the option is burned.
If he does well fine.
If its a repeat of Kwan & Oscar G (do well at the start then struggle), then send him down & burn the option at that point.
You noted in another thread that Oscar G is 3 of his last 10 with 2 walks. That means Oscar G is actually 4 of his last 27 & that means he is struggling.
The team is limited having Franmil/ Josh Naylor/ Oscar G on the roster at the same time. If all 3 are producing, somehow a way gets figure out.
If all 3 are not producing, someone gets optioned out for a short time to get on track...
