Colvin is still projected to play in nearly every game and get 280+ plate appearances. He's got a line of .222/.333/.444. How much more do you want him to play, and why? 7th inning defensive replacement every game is not enough playing time, and he needs at least one start a series. Otherwise, we might as well stash him in Iowa and let him improve. At least one start per series is not a spot start. That's a regular platoon. Soriano has an OPS over 1000 the last 7 games. Byrd and Fukudome both deserve to start today. Tyler Colvin is still just Tyler Colvin. He doesn't need to be starting every third day. If Colvin doesn't deserve to start then send him to Iowa.
