We get Headley back and lose Maybin to the DL. Although losing Maybin is addition by subtraction. Blanks will play RF with Denorfia and Venable platooning in CF. LF by comittee: Guzman, Denorfia, or Mark Kotsay (when ready). Alexi Amarista can play there too. He could be a defensive replacement when Guzman or Kotsay get the start.
Denorfia and Guzman both hit lefties much better while Kotsay is better versus right handed pitching.
5 more games without Quentin.

Good. Denorfia has been red hot, I want to see him play more. Maybin is a bust.

Good. Denorfia has been red hot, I want to see him play more. Maybin is a bust. He has been hot and has been hitting RHP well. But over the past 3 years Venable has hit RHP much better. That is why they platoon. Donorfia's stats tend to be skewed by getting more PA against LHP then a full time starter would. 2010-2012 OPS vs RHP.691 Denorfia (579 PA) .762 Venable (1127 PA) 2013 OPS vs RHP.855 Denorfia (28 PA) .787 Venable (38 PA) History makes me believe that Venable will end with a better OPS versus RHP in 2013 too. But riding a hot player like Donrfia is right now is a good idea. |

Maybin is in a permaslump. He hasn't hit since he signed that contract last year, another front office blunder.
