I don't think they'd get away with this kind of rule breaking, they're not the Yankees...

 

Edit: Wait... Now that I think about it... Is that allowed? I know if you move a DH to the field, you lose the DH, but can you move a fielder to DH when you bring in a defensive replacement? I don't think I've ever seen it done, but I don't know if it's specifically forbidden...

 

I can't see why not, but I may be wrong.

Bautista can DH or play 1B. Thats where he wold be best anyway.

 

SS Reyes

3B Donaldson

DH Bautista

1B Encanacion

RF Saunders

2B Travis

C Martin

CF Pompey

LF Pillar

 

 

If he can't throw a baseball, what makes you think he can play 1B or swing a bat as hard as he does?

Not sure if serious. I would like to think Gibby's not that dumb.

 

He's not

 

He's avoiding having him get thrown at again

 

Doesn't want him to risk getting injured or suspended for freaking out if they do it again

Can we come up with a line-up without Reyes and Travis?

 

Just to see what would happen if those two were out for an extended period of time ;/

They're just going to throw at Edwin. The Jays are not short of superstars worthy of a beaning.

It would include Goins and Tolleson and a lot of tears

Still dumb. I doubt Baltimore would be dumb enough to have Ubaldo throw at him. Ubaldo was thrown out of the last game for doing it and would probably be looking at a decent suspension.

Anybody else hope Travis sticks batting second. The best choice would be Bautista, but I doubt that happens. Donaldson is a good choice too.

Ubaldo is an ******* and throws at guys all the time though. Besides, in a Ubaldo vs Sanchez game, there's a pretty high likelihood that someone gets beaned even if it isn't intentional.

I wouldn't be surprised if Showalter told his team not to throw at the Jays, He doesn't want this to escalate.

No pain on swing, you say?

If it doesn't hurt to swing he should be DH...clearly trying to avoid him going psycho on the orioles

Would still have Martin, EE, Donaldson and Bautista, So it wouldn't be a complete dumpster fire.

Goins in LF.. bear in mind Gibbons had him taking reps in LF, CF and RF, along with 3B, trying to turn him more into a super-utility player.

 

Good call, will help the team and Goins chance of sticking in the majors.

DH until his arm is atleast ok obviously. If he can still swing the bat you try to keep him the lineup.

 

Or you just risk injuring him long term.

When Saunders comes back the improvement in Pillar's defense over Bautista should be fine for Bautista to DH and not lose anything.

 

I think Pillar in a corner outfield spot provides more value than Smoak at first or Navarro at DH, But not enough that I would mess with Bautista.
