Holliday for Norby?

Holliday is not good. Can he improve? Sure. But right now I'm not seeing what made him a high draft pick. He's small, not much of an arm, struggles fielding the ball. Has shown flashes of power, I expect his hitting will improve next year, but where can you play him in the field?

    • Good shout. This could definitely be it since it is so atypical in baseball. 
    • Lets clinch the spot before we worry about the roster.  We act like that's inevitable, and certainly the math is in our favor.  But is it really crazy to think we could win just one game in each of the next four series?  Tigers are hot and just took 2 of 3; hard to imagine winning more than 1 in NY, and Twins will be fighting for their lives due to the aforementioned Tigers, in all likelihood.  I think we better take 2 of 3 from the Giants this week. Will four wins be enough?
    • No hitter 2.0? Imagine this lineup game 1 of playoffs 
    • Drafting strategies aside, I don't see how anyone can point at Elias and say 'this is your fault'.  First of all, he's still built a playoff team (probably - I still hesitate to assume this, though just a couple more wins would ease my mind) even though half the team is missing (some more unexpectedly than others).  Second of all, the dregs he's had to pull up here lately haven't even been THAT bad considering how far down the depth chart they are/were.  Rivera has hit OK, L Soto in a VERY small size has at least shown a good glove.  He took a shot on Eloy and that hasn't really worked out, but it didn't cost much of anything to try.  I really don't know what people would have expected him to do. If anything, you could argue that the criticism he faced about not bringing up Holliday and Mayo sooner, rings pretty hollow given how bad they have been now that they are here.  Would they be any better here today if they had been playing in the majors for the last three months or whatever?  Hard to say, but at the rate they've been hitting, I don't know how any team could have given them the rope they apparently need.
    • Yeah that's how I took it as well.  A shame if it happens.  Even if he can't be a starter he could be a weapon out of the pen, and give you length to boot. 
    • Yeah I don't have confidence in either of them, that was the only point I was making.  All bad options means no bad choices.
    • If you could get just ONE of Westburg and Grayson back, who you taking?  I'm taking Westburg every time.  I want to see Grayson again but feels like we can cover that loss, especially in a short series.  We need that RH bat back badly - just look at tonight's lineup for evidence of that.  Hell I'd probably take RMC or even Urias over Grayson at this point, in fact.
