The problem is there are no internal options that are viable. With Garcia on the DL, you have Peterson and Camargo to take that spot. With Freeman on the DL, for now you have Carmargo on 3b and Peterson at 1b. So your bench is Suzuki/Flowers, Santana, and Emilio....Who would we bring up from the minors? Ruiz to platoon at 3b? I'd rather him get more steady at bats at AAA.
James Loney's name was thrown around, may not be a bad option to take Freeman's place. Should be inexpensive.
Get off my lawn!
Markakis to 1B, Acuna to RF.
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

Wouldn't surprise me if the team did something weird by putting Phillips at 2nd, Albies at 3rd and Petersen at first.

I'd be stunned if they did that.
Why in the world mess with Albies position, promote him, and move Peterson to first all in a year where we don't have a chance?? If they did something like that they should rightfully be blasted.
How about instead of that.... we just find some journeyman first baseman, insert him into the lineup and not mess with Albies, let Peterson get healthy and play his regular position and just do nothing else except deal veterans until Freeman gets back? That's the smart play here.

Fracture confirmed.
Out at least 8 weeks.
Per Rosenthal per sources.
And there it is...we all heard it fracture
Gawd, this just sucks.
Really tough to justify investing 3 hours watching this old team now without Freddie Free
Ok, so at least 8 weeks. That's like just past the All Star break. Then he has a weeks of rehab. That puts him coming back (if all things go right) around the trade deadline?
