Nice trivia
What’s worse Pallante as a starter or Wynn as a cleanup hitter?

Both are indictments of our team’s talent.

I would much rather see Graceffo get some innings than Pushard or Roycroft.

I can't get used to Winn at clean up. Walker has been mashing. Put him up there. It's a rebuilding year. Rebuild.
