Absolutely. I have no delusions about what kinda player Zeke is, but at least he's a lefty and has the ability to turn on a heater... I was hoping the best outta Upton and he's fine as a bench piece, but he adds little to the lineup. If you're gonna have him start, make sure it's against a guy who doesn't have a good heater.
I know it's easy to hate the Orioles, but Buck Showalter's really great at utilizing his players in situations for success. Hyun Soo Kim can't hit guys with good heat very well, so Showalter only utilizes him in favorable matchups and when he's given the opportunity he's excelled. I suppose it's not really Gibby's fault as he hasn't had many options on the bench as the depths been a problem. Now that we have the call-ups he should be able to utilize the roster a little more effectively and shouldn't have Upton starting against a righty like Mitchell who can hit 96-97 with the heater. It's a pretty ignorant oversight on Gibby's part.
