If players are really coming back, and coming back ready to play, over the next few weeks, that could be the team's last best hope. It'll at the very least allow the manager to sit some of the more gassed players. McNeil, Nimmo, Lowrie, Nido, Canó, and Smith — if they return, they'd all likely have at least something to offer: ("Nimmo still doesn't look like his 2018 self, Gar, but I still think a lot of credit needs to go to him for not being Aaron Altherr.") its going to be interesting to see how things all mesh together if everyone is healthy in September with an expanded roster. what ARE the ideal lineups at this point? Vs Right: 1B Alonso, 2B McNeil, SS Rosario, 3B Lowrie, RF Conforto, CF Nimmo, LF Smith Vs Left: 1B Alonso, 2B McNeil, SS Rosario, 3B Frazier, RF Conforto, CF Nimmo, LF Davis this is probably where I go - but are we really going to keep Cano on the bench where he belongs?
