The absolute shit hole thag is first base is murdering this offense right now

I've spent 2 years laughing at everyone who's said 'just move Holliday to first' in response to dealing with any number of corner OF surpluses we've appeared to have.
At this point I don't know that we have a choice. Seriously, is there any chance at all that his defense could be bad enough to offset his offensive contributions? Reynolds has just fallen to absolute shit.
Take a guy with holes in his swing then remove his power and plate discipline...it's not a pretty sight. He's just completely lost out there. I don't feel any overwhelming need to keep Grichuk in the lineup right now as he's become a liability in his own right, but he's better than Reynolds.
