    Switch-hitter who's been much better in his career against RHPs than LHPs (121 vs 81 wrc+)—though the opposite's been true the past two years (albeit in a far smaller sample).

    They must really hate Schebler.

    There's reason the believe they have at least some similar interests.

    Given how badly Camargo has hit from the left side, it's at least worth wondering whether Sandoval could be an option for the playoff roster. Really seems like a longshot but Panda has plenty of postseason experience, and he'd provide a LH platoon partner for Riley and LH DH option (which we don't have other than Schebler).

    You'll be able to shrink the pen for the playoffs, so you can carry an extra bat or two. The only SP options will likely be Fried, Hamels, Anderson, and one of Folty or Wright - with one (or both) of the last two as pen options to replace Dayton and Webb. Would guess there's always the chance you leave whichever one isn't the 4th SP off the roster entirely (like Julio last season). If you're going to carry the guys that miss the most bats in round one, you're looking at...

    Fried
    Hamels
    Anderson

    Melancon
    Smith
    Martin
    Minter
    Greene
    Matzek
    O'Day
    Jackson
    Touki
    Wright/Folty as your Game 4 SP and the other as your long man

    That'd give you 4 multi-inning options if you count Matzek. If you did that you'd have room for the extra LH bat.

    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?

    Had already signed, so Pablo was the next option.

    I can always tell a clv post without looking at the name. A few extremely lengthy paragraphs and then listing the entire team. Clv definitely in mid-seadon form, though I've seen far less back and forth with Enscheff than I'd like to.

    Maybe. Some guys are innings eaters. Pablo is just an eater.

    And some are both. Bartolo. Harang. Those are Braves legends.
