If Jonah Williams is available this weekend does he play LF? You can’t move Mendoza or A-Rod from the DH. Duplantier played great defense and contributed offensively.  The one position on the field that’s a black hole right now is 3B.

Interesting thing was Schloss said what Weiner does besides the regular pitcher fielding practice. He also puts his pitchers at shortstop and has them field ground balls to keep up their athleticism. This could be a reason the pitching staff fields their position so well.

He says that this team is always desperate to win, no matter the situation.

He didn't say anything about the injury situations of Belyeu or Williams.

A bigger black hole might be a 3rd starting pitcher, especially as we get into June

it amazes me that grubbs can throw 90.  he is completely vertical the whole throw.  it is all arm action.

He generates a lot of torque through his hips.  That's where his power comes from.

I think the solution is A-Rod to 3rd. Duplantier is producing more than Borba offensively.

Let’s tap the brakes. Congrats to Duplantier on 3 hits on the weekend (one which was a bunt with no one covering first base). He is still hitting .138 in SEC play.

Duplantier is out when Williams is back, and whoever has cooled off between Williams or Borba is likely out whenever Belyeu is ready hopefully in a few weeks. If they both happen to be hot, what a great problem to have and we will get creative with whoever is scuffling at that time.

Rodriguez has also been pretty meh defensively at third base so not sure why we would be eager to stick him back over there with a bruised hand. He is probably most likely out of anyone to slide back to DH once Mendoza can play the field again.
