Myers gets placed in a low-pressure spot in the order that will ensure he sees a lot of fastballs.
Moustakas is protected by Butler and gets more at-bats.
Butler is protected by Hosmer, who is good enough despite the slump for teams to work to Butler.
Perez moves up in the lineup.
Cain replaces Francouer. We KNOW he can't give much less offensively, and Cain at least gives them a third premium defender up the middle.
