Gunnar Henderson 2022

[Sports Guy]

Henderson should come up to play third or SS.  If he needs to fill in on the right side here and there, thats fine but that's not where he should or will play long term.

Agreed.   I think he should be on 3B, with Urias taking over at 2B.

Good. Now, stick him at third, Urias at second and leave it alone.

 

Also, if Mateo continues to slump, give Gunnar some SS time as well.

I don't think they like Urias' SP turn at 2B. I could be wrong, but they may like Henderson there better and if so, he could debut there even though longterm he's going to be a 3B.

The 2B DP turn is quickly becoming Hyde's TTTP.   But I agree. If they're going to replace Odor at 2B, they want it to be a guy who has a strong arm. I think we'll see Gunnar at 2B mostly, with some starts sprinkled in at 3B. That probably changes next year, but who knows.

Except you aren’t screwing up an entire pitching staff.

Batting 6th, playing third base.

Urias is at DH and Odor stays at second.

No Stowers.

[EdwinRip]

At least we get to keep Odor’s bat in the lineup.

Gunnar starting 3B tonight.

Such a relief!

[Low Country Bird]

Don't get it.  You bring up Henderson to get Odor out of the lineup, not to get Stowers out of the lineup.  

[Sports Guy]

The fascination Hyde and Elias have with Odor is really odd.

[dtk9119]

I am thrilled Henderson is up and in the starting line up.. but in lieu of that you sit Stowers on the bench? Elias and Hyde just love that Odor DP combo and clubhouse presence...

Glad he's in the lineup tonight. I'd prop bet a triple for him in tonight's game if I did that sort of thing.

Every time I read someone say Odor stays at second when they see the lineup I can't help but thinking back to Moneyball.  Pena at 1B no Hatteberg
