Strong lineup with Riley replaced by Lamb. All others are normal regs.

Game already in 3rd at Rays.

Bravesw with 2 in 2nd and 2 in 3rd so far.
 
In 3rd already, Lamb had 2 RBIs in 2nd, d"Arnaud with 2 in 3rd, Swanson with 2 in 3rd on 2 run HR.

6-0 Braves still in top 3rd.

Fried 2 IP 1 hit, 2 Ks

They should probably cut Adrianza now. There are no hits left in his bat after this torrid spring.

Ha—I was just thinking the same thing. "They're going to take him north, after going 10-22, and he's going to go 0-22."

That absolute stone-cold certainty notwithstanding, I still think I'm fine with Adrianza as the back-up MIF, and Camargo optioned back to AAA for depth.

Big thing with Adrianza is that he's a good glove guy around the IF, so there's some value there provided they can find someone else on the bench who is somewhat of an offensive threat.

Which is why I prefer him to Camargo, all things considered; and, given the other options, I suppose the hope is Lamb and Sandoval/Kipnis can be "offensive threats" out of two of the bench spots, with a defensive-minded MIF, backup C, and CF-capable backup OF comprising the other two spots.

Good to see TDA get going.

I’m not convinced Pache or Ender are going to be acceptable in CF.

Would be nice if Pache looked a bit more like he was ready.

At this point, he might have given the team enough justification to hold him down, whilst giving Inciarte a month's or so run.
 
Problem is, Ender looks terrible the rare times he’s been healthy enough to play.

CF may be an unmitigated disaster this season, which is why declaring a prospect ready based on “not looking overmatched” in 20 PAs is a poor strategy.

AA should have gotten 1 more real bat.

At least Pache will bring the defense.

Have you yet started a list of potential short-term upgrades for CF this season?
