Likely if Lewin keeps tearing then Aguilar gets traded at the deadline for bullpen help. If Aguilar continues at this pace (I don't expect him to, but worst case) then that bullpen help will be in A+ ball. 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just doesn't hit HR's like he did before. On top of that, he's average defensively and slow on the bases. I think Lewin's defense alone is worth starting over Aguilar right now.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like he'd absolutely tag a ball and it wouldn't last even reach the warning track. Then he got going and was fine the rest of the way. Maybe that's just him? No idea if he needs a month or so to warm up or whatever it is but it's exactly like last season. He's also better at first than Cooper is. Cooper looks like he's less lumber...err...limber than an Ent over there. He's just super stiff when he moves.  I'd be in favor of letting Lewin play at first full time though but I'd prefer they trade Aguilar instead of Cooper and I think they have a love affair with Aguilar so I dont see that happening.

I agree with this. Cooper is the better hitter and I'd rather keep him. Although, he's so injury prone that maybe it's best to move him instead. They're sort of interchangeable, so whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's cringeworthy every time I see him at first. I'd be 100% on board with Lewin full time at first and that way Cooper is always the DH. Get those roles defined. Don would likely still play Cooper at first though like 2x a week to get him "in the game" more and then he'd get injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
