My roster:
C- Leon, Vazquez, Swihart
1B- Moreland, Pearce
2B- Kinsler, Holt
SS- Bogaerts
3B- Devers, Nunez (if injured, Lin?)
OF- Benintendi, Bradley, Betts
DH- Martinez
SP- Sale, Price, Porcello, Rodriguez
RP- Kimbrel, Barnes, Workman, Poyner, Brasier, Wright, Eovaldi
I think its a dogfight between Poyner, Workman, Kelly and Hembree for the last 2 spots in the pen.
I'd like to see Cora bring starters out early and work the middle of his pen like its the playoffs. Mix and match. Rest Kimbrel and Brasier, maybe 1 game in each series to keep sharp.
It's a bit late for auditions BUT I'd like to see Cora bring in Poyner most nights now. Have him face 1 LHH to see if he can be a 6th or 7th inning LOOGY. Brantley or have him turn Ramirez around when we play Cleveland. Chris Davis when we play the Orioles. Didi when we play the Yanks.
Kelly since June 1 has been terrible (almost 4 months). Hembree has been terrible for 7 weeks. Neither has been really effective vs. RHH so there is no benefit in a situational match-up . Have to think (hope) Barnes terrible end of the season was due to a lingering injury? Would like to see him every other night to face 1-2 RHHs the rest of the way.
