Wish the Pauls would get swapped back.

I'd like to see Dexter hit 2nd or 3rd and drop DeJong down to 5 for a while.

I like them just living and dying by him where he's been. I despise "hot hand" Matheny [expletive]. I think lineup should be based mostly on OBP over the past 2.5 years. With K heavy guys at 3 and 6 to keep inning killing DPs down. Power at 2 and 4. Paul DeJong is an ideal 3rd spot guy.

Shildt is annoying me lately.

DeJong batting third is okay with me; but when he is struggling it is also okay to try and change him up. Sometimes a different spot in the order lets a hitter re-focus on what he is doing instead of pressing into trying to do too much.

I'll agree there.

With this pitching staff, I am not sure it matters much. Looks like they are punting on this year in some ways. Dumb to waste a Goldy/Carpenter prime year like this with this pitching staff.

They should stretch Hicks out to be an "opener."

Been thinking about this a lot. He has secondary pitches now that are legit and I think he'd increase his value there.

They should stretch Carlos Martinez out to be an "opener". I think he could do OK in that role.
