Good to see Harris back

 

[Hulavol]

Told y’all - Harris is like George and Weezy- Movin’ on Up…..

 

[WaitingFor2017]

I thought the lineups were written in sharpie

Good to see Harris back

And hitting above Riley.

Good R/L variation, too. I really wanted to hate Weiss, tbh. But, thus far, I really don’t.

copy machine twit is thankfully long gone..

but still gets his day of celebration for being an org leech

 

[mfree80]

Obviously, stringing hits together is the key to scoring runs, so until Riley starts hitting regularly, removing the nearly automatic out from the string of hitters seems like a good move.

He’ll tell them when it’s time to move him back up.

Never like to start a day with White power …

This team can be a real contender, but Eli white needs to be upgraded.

 

[Hudson2]

This team will no doubt be a playoff team so an OF'er is gonna be at the top of the list of what we'll need come the deadline.

This team can be a real contender, but Eli white needs to be upgraded.

I mean, if they drop Heim for Murphy and Farmer for Kim, White becomes a rarely-used 26th-man.

But I like Mateo more than White, and his speed makes White’s only utility to the team defensive OF replacement. The real rub is whether Yaz can rebound. If not, the Braves (insert Bernie meme) once again need a primary LF, leaving Yaz as a backup, and White sidelined off the roster.

Gotta have a backup cf, and he needs to be RH. White just can't hit any better than me

 

[WaitingFor2017]

White should see the 9th inning of games for defensive purposes….or a PR in the late innings.

Dubon, Yastrzemski, and Mateo all have recent innings in CF. White is probably the more Powerful Defender of the Homeland, but we’re talking “in a pinch,” so I don’t think that should be a major roster consideration.

Forgot all about dubon in cf.

Nothing wrong with Eli. He'll get less than 15 PAs per month once Kim is back.

 

[Enscheff]

I think a LHP for the BP will be more of a need than a platoon partner for Harris, but I expect AA to shop for long term pieces at the deadline since he should have a ton of cash to spend.
