After Saturday's homer? I think Ortiz so he can play every day.

I think so too.  At this point he's probably absorbed enough wisdom from Frazier and Mateo to last him for awhile.

The middle infield of the future at least until Jackson Holliday is ready. 

Well that's going to be a very short lived future...lol

Expect it to be Ortiz down. Lester designated.

It’s good rooting for a team absolutely loaded with top 100 prospects.

LHPs on both Monday and Tuesday. Could we see Ortiz and Westburg in the lineup together with McKenna going down?

Rutschman C

Santander DH

Hays LF

Hicks RF

Westburg 2B

Gunnar 3B

Ortiz SS

Urias 1B

Half over. Unless there's a Cowser tweet coming up next!

At that point we might be done with national nightmares. Until next year's Holliday and Mayo debates. 

Not to mention Kjerstad.  The second guessing of when these guys will get called up is never going to end.  

I think Westburg is a unique case though.  714 PA in AAA is a LOT for a guy sporting an .899 OPS at that level.   He really did wait an extraordinarily long time.  Cowser has almost 500 fewer PA in AAA he’s spent a year less in the system.

How to run the bases like a major leaguer

Yeah, it's terrible wanting to see players get called up when they deserve it. Especially when that player could replace either one of the two least productive players on the field.

I hope it’s for good and not just lefties only and then sits or sent back down

DFAing Frazier today and seeing this lineup tomorrow would make me very happy.

I don't see Ortiz hitting in front of Urias. And I to be honest I am not sure I see Westburg hitting in front of Gunnar despite it being a LH starting pitcher. And if we want to be all the way realistic, I don't see Mateo displaced from the line up by Ortiz.

That’s not going to happen, but Frazier becoming a part time player would be a good thing. 

[Pat Kelly]

I suspect part of this is could be about Henderson at SS more.  Mateo to bench.  Westburg subs for  Frazier against LHP, plays 3B against righties, Urias plays 1B against RHP or vice versa.   Urias and Mateo become more spot starters. Ortiz needs PT at SS and AB’s probably benefits from a few more reps in AAA. 
 

Also likely means Mountcastle could be down for awhile or traded.
