Just in case anybody is taking that seriously, that is not really a consideration.
I know some like to mockingly paint Ned as some kind of tunnel-visioned lineup reerun, but it really isn't. You get your starting 9, and then lefty-righty becomes a consideration at that point. If Gio gets sent down instead of Moose then it will be because, incredibly, they really do think Moose should be expected to be a better player.
