I think this is the main reason some of the other prospects are in Norfolk and we have a guy like Kemp to warm the bench on Baltimore. Makes no sense to not have a young developing baseball player even play baseball on a daily basis.
Hopefully “Elias’ thing” under this owner includes extensions and meaningful adds through trades and FA.
Im just extremely happy to hear Rubenstein set real championship expectations l.
My preference would be to see him play everyday in RF with Santander at DH. Put Westburg at 2B and let Mateo ride the bench. Who would be a better hitter, Mateo vs lefties or Cowser vs lefties? Cowser would undoubtedly be an upgrade in RF and the difference between Mateo and Westburg 2B defense is probably marginal enough that whatever superiority Mateo has with the glove is negated by Cowsers better defense and Mateo and his noodle bat out of the lineup.
