Will there be a specific main board thread for discussion of the WC roster or will it be here?
I'm somewhat horrified that Iglesias isn't available for the post-season. But I get it. I think you have to go with Arroyo there for defense. And when he gets locked in he can be a potent bat- which hopefully he'll do. I was happy to see him work a BB in his one plate appearance yesterday.
The big question is the Dalbec-1B-DH jam... it's obviously an easy answer if JDM's ankle is too injured for him to play the field... but then is it too squirrely for him to DH, and if it isn't, then what's the outfield alignment and... who's on first!?!?!
Defensively it's Kiké in CF, Renfroe in RF and Verdugo in LF.
Dalbec still looks like a better defensive 1B than Schwarber... which is really something. wow. But then they're facing Cole. So I dunno..... it's a tangled mess.
Plawecki has to get the start.
I would, with some serious lack of confidence, put forth:
Hernandez CF
Schwarber 1B
Devers 3B
X SS
JDM DH (I'm assuming his ankle is fine)
Renfroe RF
Verdugo LF
Plawecki C
Arroyo 2B
If JDM's ankle is injured, switch Schwarber and Dalbec
I can also see Hernandez at 2B, with Dalbec at 1B, Dugo in CF and Schwarber in LF if JDM's ankle is okay.
My preference is the long list.
But whatevz. All it boils down to is: Fuck the Motherfucking Yankees!
