I'm thinking of going to a game 2 weekends from now on the 21st or 22nd. Needing some assistance to know the projected starters for that series. Is Sanchez going to continue to be our 5th starter or should we expect to see Blair or Fried make a start? What's the time table on Gohara? Will a 5th starter even be needed for awhile?
Also, what's your opinion on Acuna getting called up when he is "eligible"? Tucker and Neck seem to be playing very well right now. While I obviously realize neither Tucker nor Neck should factor into this decision, I do feel it's something the FO will consider. Even though Neck needs to be gone, IMO it's unlikely the FO will displace Neck at this time being that he is a veteran, a clubhouse leader, and he's currently performing well. Tucker, on the other hand, is just playing out of his mind right now and while he obviously isn't this good, I don't see how you can justify taking him out of the lineup if he stays hot. For these reasons (and because Acuna needs to play everyday) I don't see Acuna being brought up till May be May, unless we have an injury.
