If Pillar regresses to the mean i would rather Tulo go there. As Good as Travis has looked his walk rate is not good at the moment although that can change.
I still think he is a .260 hitter his issue right now is that he has gone back to flailing at everything like in years past. I don't know maybe i am just speculating on a slump but if he keeps regressing back to his norms i would like to see Tulo eventually try hitting lead off.
Sorry for your loss bud, i understand where your coming from. If i don't ever want to think about loosing my little mutt. You can connect with them like nothing else and they are always there for you. Condolences
A lot of it obviously depends on the severity.... If it actually is 4-6weeks that is not too bad. Although Stanton missed a full year... Cases obviously vary.
