Thames is only, what, 24? Same for Snider, all have plus defensive abilities, except MAYBE Snider. Though, before he was at first, Lind was a part time DH, and he isn't the best defensively. I think since Bautista is getting older and We have two prospects, prospect growth should be a priority, ESPECIALLY to a rebuilding team. Part time DHing can be detrimental to a young player's defensive growth. Nice to see a fan on the Jo-Jo needs to Go-Go wagon. He wrecked Mother's day for me and my Mom, which totally sucks, and I'm seriously starting to consider wanting Tallet back over him. We could be contenders, though next year seems a bit more likely. Still, anything is possible, and we have been playing quite well as of late. Sorry for the long post. I could see that, though Bautista is getting older, he’s 30. Thames is only, what, 24?

Try again!! Whether later this year or next, the line-up could look something like this: Davis CF Escobar SS Batista RF Lind 1B Lawrie 3B Snider LF/DH Arencibia C Thames LF/DH Hill 2B If they all reach their potential, what a line-up we will have. Add our very good bullpen, lose Jo Jo, and we could contend this year....IMHO!! @Jays2011–Yeah, that’s what they will do, DH one of the best RF’s in the game!!! Try again!!
