Sending him down gives the team control of age 26 season, no? -
I agree that 1B would be his last positional option, just saying that he "could" play there if needed. But I agree, he will probably DH or play RF mostly. -
My guess is, teams will figure out Suárez eventually. But I’m going to enjoy the ride in the meantime. And I’d gladly see him in the bullpen in place of Baumann. This guy at least knows how to pitch. -

With O’Hearn, Mountcastle, and Santander I don’t really see much of a need to play Kjerstad at 1B. If this is more than a short term thing, I would hope that they make his transition as easy as possible, and DH mostly while allowing a few starts in RF. That is to say, let him focus for the most part on his hitting instead of trying to grasp a position (first base) that he still doesn’t seem comfortable with. -
But not if they bring in lefty and Rutchman and Santander switch sides. That being said, their only lefty relief options are Jose Suarez, who has thrown 53 pitches between yesterday and Saturday and also isn’t very good, and Matt Moore, who is a bona fide reverse splits guy. Still, I think Westburg bats 6th so he isn’t back-to-back with Tony. Cowser or Mullins would bat 5th, with the other batting 7th.
