I don't know what Farmer's purpose on the roster is if he isn't going to play any. Is it to be an emergency catcher so they can DH Drake on games he isn't catching?
I think Didier in the pen should be the play, but one of these prospects is going to have to meet expectations and stay healthy, or AA is going to have to be more willing to take bigger financial gambles on free agents.
You would think Dubon ahead of White would be preferable but maybe the tacticians are telling him to set it this way for when Yaz takes over for White when a righty comes in the game
Considering all things and that it was game 2 of 162, I’m fine with him keeping Yaz in the 7th. This is a product of not having as deep a bench as you initially thought you would.
