May 10, 20215 yr 1B Lewin Diaz: “He’s ready,” is the immediate response MO2 heard about the left-handed hitting first baseman. Edited May 10, 20215 yr by Ema2R

He did also homer to left center off a lefty this weekend, so, that's promising.

He has options. yeah, as much as I hate to say it because Coop has proven in the past to be productive when he's not injured....something just aint' right with him this season. send him down to get his timing back or whatever the hell is off with him and give someone else a shot.
May 10, 20215 yr Hasn't it been like 3 or 4 games? I'd rather see better production over more games before anointing him ready.

Which means that you can't ever have Aggy and Lewin together in the lineup. That means taking away ABs from Aggy. I think that the best thing to do is to bring up Sanchez and send Cooper down. Have Dickerson, Brinson and Sanchez in the OF with Duvall on the bench to see how that goes. At least until Marte can return.

I'm sure Lewin could handle a corner outfield spot, he's a very solid defender. But as it is, Cooper can hardly play the outfield. Lewin would probably be a defensive upgrade in the outfield, if we're being honest.

Lewin would probably be a defensive upgrade in the outfield, if we're being honest. This is what I was wondering as well, Cooper is not the "greatest" in RF as it is so maybe Lewin would at least be an even swap? If he can hit .220 with some occasional pop and be an even swap defensively with Cooper he's probably an upgrade at this point. Long enough into the season now to see that something is clearly amiss with Cooper this year.
