Yeah he is pitching his way out of the rotation.
His 122wrc+ those 3yrs (ignoring this year) would place him 8th on these jays, slightly ahead of 9th and 10th.
at least halfHow many of those ahead of him have extreme platoon splits?
Going 6 for too long might slaughter the bullpenThey won't bring Bassitt out of the rotation, and they won't drop Lauer for obvious reasons yet, so it'll be six.
I get being irked with how Santander has worked out so far but thinking that some of these pretty good bench bats are better options is kinda nuts
And im not here to shit on Lukes/Barger they are both very good players on the busy side of a platoon, but they shouldnt face LHP and Clement shouldn't face RHP, ideally.If we could airdrop the 21-24 Santander into this lineup, right now. He's neck and neck with Bo for 3rd best stick in the lineup. An argument could be made for Schneider as well, his 133 wRC+ doesn't look luck driven. His walk rate and power might be for real, though I'd like to see it for more than 150 AB before I considered him better than that Santander, considering how last year went and all.
Barger should be in the lineup every day.
