    What do we do with Culberson when Acuna gets back?

    So Culberson has been killing it lately but when Acuna returns he’ll obviously be back in LF. That means either Culberson or someone else is headed to the bench. Looking around the diamond the only person Cluberson could really take over for is Camargo. My questions for everyone are what should we do and what will we do?

    Give him the 2nd base job, while Albies has a mental health day.

    What do we do with Albies now that Demeritte is heating up.
    "I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."

    "I am your retribution."

    Inciarte and Markakis as well. No reason Acuña couldn’t play in Center or Right. It’s all moot, though. We’re discussing Charlie Culberson.

    I like this.


    I like the fact that he can be our miniature version of Marwin Gonzalez. He can give a certain guy a day off each day of the week if necessary. Once Ronald is back, he can even give Ender or Nick a day off as you then put Acuna in center or right field (like they did with Bourjos in CF the other day). Charlie could technically give every single player a day off except for Catcher.

    IIRC, he's the emergency Catcher as well.
    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?

    Snitker's idiotic self is too stupid to give anyone days off at all.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    the other player personnel issue we will need to address is what position to play Touki on days when he is not pitching
    "I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."

    "I am your retribution."

    we might have to trade him to an AL team

    Only a .538 BABIP though, so it might actually be sustainable.
