Johnson and Gomes are bad players, overall, but—given the current makeup of the roster—at least one of them should be in the lineup against LHPs, for sure.

Maybin is proving my point about how having a speed player in front of Simmons helps cut down on him hitting into DP's. He is partly tied for the league lead because earlier this year he had slow runners getting on and hitting in front of him.

While Simmons is quick defensively, his footspeed appears to be no more than average which, obviously, makes it more difficult for him to beat the relay throw to first.

While Simmons is quick defensively, his footspeed appears to be no more than average which, obviously, makes it more difficult for him to beat the relay throw to first.

Yea, he is pretty slow running for a shortstop but he has amazing instincts on defense and quickness to read plays. Plus he hits his share of hard hit grounders to short and third making for easy DP's too. That is why I prefer a player like Maybin batting in front of him who can steal a base and also good for hit and runs too. Which is a good idea with Simmons given his contact skills.
