Right.
Give me one of these young guys on the roster now and understand that you probably, with this roster and this pitching staff, should win 90-plus games and make the postseason.
We all agree with that?
Of course.
And Giancarlo only played 77 games, and they did that last year.
Yep.
I'm fine with that Giancarlo plan.
He felt fine.
We'll be here waiting for you in the summer.
Now, the argument would be, well, how much more rest is going to help him?
I don't even think it's about a rest.
I just think it's about preserving how much torque and shots he's taking on the elbow.
No doubt.
One of these guys has to be on the opening day roster.
If Stanton is going to sit multiple times a week, it can't be Grichuk.
I mean, look, Ben Rice is going to play first base.
Who knows with his glove if he's going to have to DH some games, and that's where Bellinger's versatility.
But Stanton's bat's that valuable.
You can't afford to have both Spencer Jones and Dominguez sit in the minor leagues while Giancarlo's up here in April missing a couple days a week.
You just can't.
