Matt Clement

First looks like an excellent spot with him with the combination of power and speed.

Unless he's this unbelievable RBI producer, run producer, that you might want to drop him a little bit into one of those other spots.

Well, the flip side with the opportunities, RBI-wise, he gets to bat the most.

He's guaranteed to bat the most in the game.

And if he's your best hitter, which for the foreseeable future, you're hoping that's the case later on here, then you want him batting a lot.

I agree.

With no pitcher hitting now, I think that changes things.

When the pitcher was hitting, there was a lot less RBI opportunities.

But now with the pitcher hitting and the DH being in there,

And, you know, just 65 stolen bases is the most impressive stat about him last year.

65 stolen bases is, you know, that's intriguing, really intriguing part.

And I'm anxious to see him play shortstop and see how good the defense is.

Yeah, I just feel like you're going to, to me, with all the natural lefties they have and all the options they have, you're going to sandwich in between two lefties just to make it harder on the bullpen when they bring somebody in, the other team, you know, maybe against a left-handed pitcher.

And if things get off to a good start for him, you see him sneak up the sixth or fifth or whatever the case may be.

And who knows, maybe the Pirates have other plans.

They lead them off tomorrow and just say, hey, let's go for it.

You know, I don't think that's the case, but you have so many natural lefties.

It just makes sense to put them between some of those guys, especially from a strategic standpoint.

Well, fortunately for him, everybody in the Meyer Leagues that he's facing are throwing.

It's the same velocity.
