Acuna
FF
Ozuna
Riley
Ozzie
Contreas
Swanson
Pitcher
Ender/heredia

That's the lineup I'd run out there tomorrow. Maybe Swanson in front of the pitcher will help him start walking again, and maybe the cf platoon can get on base in front of Acuna and FF. Might would even flip Ozzie and ozuna in that order.

Gotta do something

Swanson after 42 games...
-0.1 fWAR
65 wRC+
31.6% k
6.4% bb
.265 obp
.266 wOBA

ETA...
Obp ranking is #140 of 156 qualifiers
wOBA is 141 of 156
wRC+ is 144 of 156
xwOBA is 117 of 156, so I guess he's been a little unlucky

He hits 5th in this lineup. I'd see if Arcia could provide a spark

BTW... JBJ is like last in everything, so thank God, we didn't sign him

I wanted JBJ as Pache insurance too. Not for anything near the absurd 2/24 he got though...but $5M and I would have been happy.
 
Haven't read through the entire thread (not interested in ruining my day), but really liked the way Davidson battled after giving up the bomb to Villar. Have gotten so used to watching Wilson and Wright sulk the first time something doesn't go as scripted I was beginning to wonder if there's an organizational rule that every SP prospect not named Fried, Soroka, or Ynoa automatically gets castrated once they reach Gwinnett.
 
Indeed. Pitchers have such an advantage right now it's ridiculous. Rejuice the balls and lower the mound or move it back.

I think they have to consider what they can do to get more balls in play.

I also think they need to encourage steals somehow.

Moving the mound back will reduce perceived velocity.

Fact is pitches are harder to hit than ever before in todays game. Only so much can be done.
