Warhead36 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I get it. Lineup order really only matters the first couple innings, after that everything gets shuffled once guys get on base anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I dunno. If Eaton is right, I dont think yiu can move him. Same with Trea, but if he can get more consistent contact. Both are irreplaceable on base with no outs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I think this is the kind of dumb **** people are left to talk about when spring training is almost over and your roster is solid and has relatively few questions. Will Danny have Harp hit leadoff to change things up a handful of times this season? Sure, why not? Will Harper take the vast majority of his at bats at 3-4-5? Yes, duh. The only significant open questions right now are who is the 5th starter, how long is Murph out for, and why the **** doesn't Rizzo have a new contract yet.

TheGoodBits Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 6 hours ago, BRAVEONAWARPATH said: I mean... I get that. There’s a lot of young talent in the org, particularly from Latin America. But as much as “the window” is probably overstated, it’s a real thing. And it’s less about Bryce Harper and more about winning while Strasburg and Scherzer are in their prime and pitching at a high level. Who knows how effective each of those guys is going to be five years from now. Almost certainly not as good... which is significant because the Lerners will be paying both of them a lot of money for the next 15 years. Hoping that when all the deferred money kicks in we won’t see significant payroll constraints, but not sure we can count on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy's DL stint--which could run into May--will be an extended try-out for middle relief. When Murph comes off the DL, one of Gott, Kelley, Romero, Grace, or Solis will be Optioned/DFA'd. It'll most likely be Gott or Grace, since they have options and don't have the contract Kelley does. And I am with you, Kelley should never be in a high-leverage situation.

Mr. Sinister Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I don't think anyone will challenge the Nats in the East this year. Maybe they'll start out slow, but ultimately, there's no staying power amongst the 4 of them. I think the Phillies could be a royal pain in the ass though, with Hoskins and co, if he can even sniff that onslaught of last summer, and if Arrieta doesn't suck.
