*OPENING DAY* 4/6/'15: Atlanta Braves (Teheran) @ Miami Marlins

The Bethancourt batting 5th thing is real, apparently.

Doesn't surprise me now.

Should be where Carlos Quentin is hitting.

I was surprised as **** that he made it in there.

Salty took about 3 days to make the tag so it worked out well.

Are we really planning on playing KJ this much?

We need a left handed hitter to protect Bethancourt.

I am butthurt about Maybin not playing.

We're not paying Eric Young $24MM guaranteed over the course of the next three years.

Seeing whether or not Maybin can produce is much more imperative than trying to ascertain whether or not EY is a better player (hint: he isn't).

BTW, I should add: I like Eric Young a lot -- his brand of baseball, his skillset, etc., so I hope he is given a lot of playing time on the corners.

I agree wholeheartedly with that EY disclaimer. I like the guy too. He's a good guy to have on the team, I love the speed, and I think he should get some reps. I just don't think you should be the every day starter in CF.
