Why? You think his feelings should be considered? He's here on a one year deal. It's up to him to put up some numbers this year. I don't think he cares where he hits.
Tellez should have hit clean up versus a tough RHP like Singer. He gave Vladdy nothing even though the walk put a runner in scoring position. A RHP with stuff like Springer salivate at facing Grichuk. Tellez would have given him more to think about during the Vladdy at bat.
Semien is a prototypical #6 hitter imo and I've always thought he and Gurriel should be flipped. Until everyone is back..
