He could, but Heyward had like a .840 OPS vs RHP last year and brings the contact aspect Yeah that wasn’t me calling for heyward to the bench. But right and second are about the only realistic places I’d mess with right now if we needed to get Bote more PAs Having the DH certainly helps and I think it’s gonna be like 2016 if everyone is healthy. “Where are all these SS/bats going to play?” It will work itself out and most guys who should/are playing well will get their rightful ABs.
At the very least they should give Bryant a little bit of extra time to get right with Bote looking like this and not overly rush him. But I think Ross has done a good job so far picking the right guys on a given day and getting the guys in who should be playing Can bryant be trusted in right field?

He deserves more playing time. I think he'll have a great year.

Getting the DH has really helped since it has allowed to play multiple of Nico/Vic/Kipnis in there just about every game so far and up the contact ability of the lineup. The approach has just generally been good though, KB and Rizzo were 1-2 in pitches seen in MLB going in to today. Happ and Bote have had solid approaches too.
