Having trouble with the idea of starting Culberson at 3B. If Camargo is better than Culberson at SS why is Culberson even on the team?
 
While Bautista as our regular third baseman does not make sense, Bautista taking Culberson's spot on the roster as a PH and DH and occasional starter at third or right does.

I agree with this. I think Bats comes up for the TB series where we have a DH. He likely plays 3B but I think we get another bat in that series with Bautista.

Culberson is probably a great guy but he has no purpose on this team with Albies and Comargo able to back up SS and Comargo and Finley able to play 3B.

I think he will be up for part of the Giants series too given they are throwing two lefties at us. They should probably give Swanson a couple more days off.

Depending on how rested the pen is, I think there is a chance we go to a seven-man pen when Baustista is called up.
 
To be honest, it's not the worst thing in the world to get Charlie in there today to remind everybody we still have him - if nothing else, other teams might notice and at least take on his money for the rest of the season if he's DFAd when Joey Bats comes up.

I'll take tomorrow as the day Bautista's added.

I think Bautista gets added right before we go on the road, because he can DH in Tampa

Why is Rafael Belliard playing 3b? I would rather have 67 year old Mario Mendoza in the lineup.



Again, why is he still on the team?
