dudes not hitting for ****.
Defensive metrics so far, no good.

I have no idea why he's even batting 2nd in the damn order.
either bat him 8th or find someone new to take his spot.
I get it. He's J-Roll and he's earned enough stripes in the league to play himself to the bench…but geeze louise, set a time frame for him to turn it around and if he doesnt, put him on the pine please.

I say, probably not.

Seager has been a catalyst to our lineup and the kid brother of bigbutt Kyle is a complete player with potential to be a HOF type player.

Rollins on the other hand, his defense isn't what it used to be and his offense is atrocious compared to his prime. still, I like his veteran presence but come on, he was batting .220 with .279 OBP before the injury. you can't plug him back and sit down a kid who is playing like Ted Williams right now.

I dunno if we can go back to Jimmy at this point but I know Don is an "old school" guy and is going to be loyal to his veteran SS.

we have another freakin problem being backed up.

Seager, Turner, Rollins on the left side.
Utley and Kendrick on the right side.
