I don't get the Gentry love. Never have. Id start Mancini in LF, Trumbo at 1b, and Santander in RF with another bat (Castillo? or Joseph) as DH.

He isn't loved. His skill set is just more valuable when rosters expand. Always nice to have a good glove and late inning speed.

Some of us like outfielders who can actually run and are don't get nervous when they get within 15 feet of the wall.

Gentry is a deeply flawed player but at least he can play the outfield.

I am really excited to watch Santander tonight, I was thrilled when I was checking to see if the lineup was out and read Roch's first line "So much for easing Santander into the MLB...". I know we were 'forced' to call him up but if you're going to call up a prospect he needs to be playing. I was frustrated reading about how he was going to ride the bench for the majority of the year so he doesn't hurt our chances. I don't think he will be completely overmatched like people think, in fact he might be one of our 3 best outfielders already and actually increase our chances. But we will watch and see.

Buck wants to keep the OH happy. He knows we an give blue hearts to negative posts about him & he doesn't need that in his life right now.

The Pitcher could use the defense. Plenty of offense in that lineup.

Excited to see Santander He is used to hitting MiL pitching. Gentry is the best defensive OF and the best base runner. That should count for something.

Santander has shockingly high ownership in dfs tonight as a minimum cost option in the OF. Only Beckham & Trout have more ownership in this game. In the main contest on fanduel he's owned on 6% of rosters. That means he's got everyone's attention - I figured it would be about 1.9-2.3 on a night with so many bad pitchers & great options. Unbelievable.

Yaz may take that role in the next year or two.

There's nothing that can happen that would cause us to let him go back to Clev.

I clued a friend in from work that he was going to be activated Thursday.  Made no guarantee about playing time but told him if he had room for a flyer...

Didn't Martha Stewart do jail time for that sort of thing?
