August 16, 20206 yr So still be about 10-14 days til we see them, probably. Might be a half and half situation.
August 16, 20206 yr Author I don’t see a need to wait that long. Seems like they should be back quicker.

Cooper in RF is better than whats happening. Miggy to SS, Villar to 2B is better than dealing with dart board toss at who's playing 2B.

Yeah, I think it would be dumb if most aren't back by that road trip.

August 17, 20206 yr Wth happens to Harold when he gets back? We have cooper in right, Dickerson in left and I’m assuming Mags/Monte in center. we have Berti who could backup both infield and outfield so he’s more valuable to keep around as the 5th outfielder. Though now that I think of it, the rosters are at 30 so I guess he can stick around anyway. On another note, I also hope that Lewin Diaz stays up and plays first and let’s Aguilar DH. Or maybe DH Alfaro and let Cervelli keep doing the incredible job he’s been doing with the pitching (at least for a bit) Edited August 17, 20206 yr by marlinsmaniac

I love the speed element that we’ve seen this year so I wouldn’t be against Magneuris in center full time and letting Monte get some reps in left and get spelled by Harold every now and again. I’m assuming Joyce goes back to the bench along with berti and that Alvarez, Forsythe, Brinson and Lavarnway end up reassigned to Jupiter. Im probably forgetting someone though. On another note, I also hope that Lewin Diaz stays up and plays first and let’s Aguilar DH. Or maybe DH Alfaro and let Cervelli keep doing the incredible job he’s been doing with the pitching (at least for a bit) I would like to keep Eddy for his defense and speed, as to the starting catcher it would be a much more difficult decision to make between Alfaro's offense and Cervelli's framing.

August 17, 20206 yr There's room for Harold. None of the replacement right fielders have been able to say they've earned the position full time so I expect the continuous rotation until someone earns the spot. There's enough doubt with Monte to send him back down, Brinson is just a backup now, Joyce is a spot starter, Berti is fine but is more useful in multiple roles, and Sierra seems fine but hasn't proven himself to be there daily yet so Harold at the very least gets a chance to top all those guys like he did in spring training anyways.
August 17, 20206 yr I’d love to see Lewin stay up as well. Would be great to keep his bat in the lineup, even if he’s only mostly facing righties - vs RHP 1. Villar 2B 2. Anderson 3B 3. Dickerson LF 4. Aguilar 1B 5. Lewin DH 6. Cooper RF 7. Alfaro C 8. Rojas SS 9. Sierra CF vs LHP 1. Villar 2B 2. Anderson 3B 3. Aguilar 1B 4. Dickerson LF 5. Cooper DH 6. Ramirez RF 7. Alfaro C 8. Rojas SS 9. Sierra/Monte/Brinson CF Edited August 17, 20206 yr by marlins_09
August 17, 20206 yr From what I've read (I think), Lewin has a very good glove at first base, no reason to DH him full time. Aguilar slots there perfectly. Lewin also looked fairly comfortable against the lefties he faced so let him keep getting at bats against them, too.
