    • Headfirst at the plate in particular seems like an awful idea.
    • It'll be interesting to see if Adley and/or Holliday can find paths to outdo Gunnar like Sigbot thought they should.    In both cases it probably takes beating him by a bunch of points of batting average. Gunnar's from a similar draft tier to Ripken and Murray so you really can't do better than that when it really hits. Holliday's slow start has reminded me some of guys like Rich Dauer, Drungo Hazewood or Robert Boyce who were Orioles 1st rounders near the time of Cal and Eddie, and only got as far as supporting roles and/or inspiration for OH handles. Next week in Rodon and Cortes I'm sure he'll still be up there leading off against some of the stronger likely LHSP candidates he may also see in Very Important Games later this season.     Ragans, Framber, Fried...nope, still not shrinking his lion's share of the team plate appearances.   I figure Colin Poche will pitch against him in all 13 Rays games this season.
    • Prefer to move Irvin? Or stash Means in the bullpen? I don't have a strong feeling either way but it would make sense to back Means up with a RHP throwing 96. I don't think Suarez is going to have a 0.00 ERA forever and I like having a matchup proof guy like him or Wells in the pen. 
    • Bradish up, Wells activated to pen, one of Irvin/Suarez to pen, Baumann out, Ramirez out. Perez up, one of Akin/Tate out.   I'd keep Means down as long as possible.
    • Adley’s value must be in the little things, because he already has a career WAR of 10.7 in fewer than 2 seasons of ABs.
