      They are going to hide him on the bench so he can’t do too much before Hays is ready to return.

      They are going to have to play lefty on lefty (at least for a while).

      I’m not defending Holliday’s performance thus far. I think he would admit that has been very bad. What I was speaking to is the unrealistic expectations that many fans seem to have for these young players when they arrive. The facts are just about all of them struggle (albeit Holliday has been the worst). I actually like the idea of calling Kerjstad up. We can ease him in to things so to speak and give him a looksie over an extended period of time before deciding what to do with Santander after this year. However, with his arrival at the club, it probably means no more strict platoon, matchup baseball any more, as 3 of our OFs are LHH. I am fine with this as I believe top prospect should not be used as platoon ball players. They need reps (like Gunnar and now Westburg is getting) against same sided pitching. IMO platoons should be reserved for lesser talented ball players to take advantage of a specific skill set (like O’Hearn or Mateo for that matter).

      You’re right.  Cowser had a .375 OBP in his first 32 PA, unlike Holliday’s .094.  They’re not at all comparable.

      Austin Hays 2024

      Yeah I was thinking this might be good for both the team and Hays. Chance for him to press the reset button if nothing else.
