If they send Miller down then Naylor is the only player on the roster who ever played first base, unless they want to bring Yu Chang back). And Naylor needs days off.I’d send Miller down honestly. He needs a reprieve to gather himself. That’s what options are for right? IMO Miller should never play 1B with as much frequency as he has this season.
Giving Naylor time off his feet is a challenge with Reyes on the roster. I guess there’s an argument that one isn’t any better than the other defensively, but this is about Josh’s health.
We’re probably going to see some more prospects after the deadline and that’s good IMO because that’s what this season was for from the beginning. If they propel us to a division title and a playoff experience all the better.
I suppose they could hand Clement a first baseman's mitt and let him take a stab at it.
I'd convert Jones to 1B for next year. You couldn't throw the ball over or around him and he's had years of practice fielding ground balls.
