We need to not hate on Urias if he gets a start over Westburg. Urias is a good baseball player and is MLB starter no doubt. The real tragedy is Mateo starting too much still. I like the Gunnar at SS, Urias 3b, Westburg 2b lineup best too

Tragedy? LOL. Without doing the splits, I see Mateo contributing a lot lately, at bat (vs. LHP), in the field, and on the basepaths.

Something Ramon contributes to the team that doesnt show up in stats.....he's bilingual. That's really important for our Latin American pitchers

Love Urias glove work at  3B.  GG last year, he looks very good there defensively this year as well.  But he seems to have lost his power this year.   16 homers last year,  4 so far this year plus a couple of triples.   I don't think that will keep his job at 3B once Holliday is promoted to the infield next season.  Probably both Ortiz and Westburg can play 3B and sometimes Gunnar.
