Barring injuries, I don’t see a path to McKinstry getting significant playing time. And his roster spot could be vulnerable if Anderson, Lee, Cruz and/or Clark are pushing for a promotion at some point this season.
It’s the Harris playbook. He’ll try to successfully slip him through waivers when they add someone like McGonigle to the 40 man. He’s been successful before with this strategy.
Days away from Opening Day and I have no clue where I’m going to be watching games. I have Xfinity when I’m in Detroit, but spend half of every week in Chicago.
What am I supposed to do? (Asking for a dumbass)
I don’t see how they are related. Both can and should make the team. At this point, I don’t think they are concerned about how many AB’s Javy gets. He’ll still play a lot everywhere. If Javy and Vierling are largely bench/utility guys, do we really need Jones?
I think that McGonigle will be the starting SS, with Baez spelling him on occasion vs tough lefties. Keith will be the starter at 3B. Baez will get plenty of AB’s moving around in CF, SS, 3B and DH.
Odd man out will be Wenceel.
