Are we going to see Sheets or Vaughn at DH today?  Seems like Vaughn deserves a start after yesterday’s performance.  Personally I’d use Gavin for Jose when it’s ~40 degrees out and we’re facing a RHP.

Sheets needs to be in the lineup somewhere when we face a righty.

This lineup needs Anderson badly. I can't remember the stats but I do remember there was a significant difference between wins and losses last year when Anderson was in the lineup vs when he wasn't.

Who else could you sit besides Vaughn or Pollock?

I think Sheets will be coming in to spell guys more when they need rest. Eloy, Pollock, Abreu. Unfortunately I don't think Sheets is going to get regular ab's unless an injury happens to an outfielder or Abreu.

Jose has been terrible against Mize (SSS but largest on team) and we all know how he performs in cold April & May weather.  As such, here’s what I’d go with today:

  1. Pollock, RF
  2. Robert, CF
  3. Grandal, C#
  4. Jimenez, LF
  5. Sheets, DH*
  6. Vaughn, 1B
  7. Burger, 3B
  8. Garcia, SS#
  9. Harrison, 2B

This will never happen though and Vaughn is likely riding pine today.

RHP on the mound, Sheets probably plays and AV sits after his huge homer yesterday.  It’s TLR logic after all.  I would  play AV over Abreu but we know it’s not happening.

Nothing quite like making AV a short side platoon player a week after turning 24.

Unfortunately with Moncada out it puts more pressure on Tony to use Sheets.  And I really like Gavin, but weak side platooning Vaugh would be horrible for his development.  Let’s hope this is a short term thing and that Tony will rotate Andrew in several spots.
