Oli needs to go this route with lineup

[Cusecards]

For a while Herrera seemed to be the needed clean up hitter. Now, not so sure. Now, maybe another #6 type hitter.

He has a .998 OPS, a bad few games doesn’t change his lineup spot or how his outlook is.

Yes
Got off to a hot start. Cold stretch. Most hitters periodically have them.
Did we expect Herrera to hit .380 for the season???

The more concerning thing is the almost total power outage. 3 of his 5 home runs came in one game, and he has one since he came back. The hits he is getting are singles.

The power would be nice but I’m more concerned with RISP.
Would be nice if hitters like Arenado would stop popping up in the clutch.
HR’s would be great but how about a single or sac fly???

Exactly. With RISP I will take a single to RF every time. Score the run. Sure, if you get up 2-0, then take a shot at the bleachers, but give me the Donnie type hitter that gets the run in. Herrera will be that guy most of the time. I don't want him swinging for the fences on every pitch. That is WC's problem sometimes, and certainly Nado's most all the time.

Yes
Donovan looks like a keeper.
Hopefully Herrera emerges at DH.
They have the potential on base guys in Noot and Winn.
Would be great if Scott could elevate his OBP with his speed.
Gorman? Walker??
Fingers crossed that Wetherholt emerges next year as another Donovan.
