I like him. I just don't think he's a super valuable DH. Maybe I'm wrong. But I hope I'm not, because we will need everyone to pick up the slack while he's on the bench, and I think it's very doable.
"The way our DH has been playing, though, it's not like we'll really be missing much when a pitcher has to bat. I've heard Vargas was a pretty good hitter, though."

You're comparing a below average DH but one who still can have timely hits (and has), some for extra bases and some power to an AL pitcher who won't do anything.

That's a huge difference, so yes, we will be missing much.

He had 4 HRs and a .755 OPS this year.

Ned Yost is a phenomenal manager.

Plus, with our pitching stable we will see the PH from the 5th on when its the pitchers turn to hit.
Your team reminds of the Whiteyball teams of the 80's. Speed/Defense/Pitching rules the day.

Having Billay out will hurt but they have to bat a pitcher too. The problem is that their pitchers hit pretty well, for pitchers anyway.

I still don't think so. 2 ABs a game and we don't know how good our pitchers really are. They probably aren't worse than the Giants'.

Butler at first ....Hosmer at 2B

Wont happen....but I think Hosmer has the glove, range, and athleticism to play the position. If Infante can do it...Hosmer should be able to as well w/ a little practice.

But this is something I would have tried in spring training or interleague play. I wouldn't experiment doing this in the WS.

You wanna play a ****ing lefty at 2nd base eh?

Holy ****ing shit lmao only Como

Post of the year here, folks

No way. Even with it making us worse defensively, yadda yadda... the biggest deal breaker is Hosmer throws LH. You couldn't put him at 2B.

Hootie 10-23-2014 10:31 PM
The last lefty to play 2nd base was Don Mattingly in 1983 - the completion of the pine tar game !!!

It's a sign!

Hootie 10-23-2014 10:32 PM
I think Como should be our next manager with penbook as our bench coach. We'd, uh ... well

tk13 10-23-2014 10:35 PM
That actually made me morbidly curious. There have only been 5 instances of a LH throwing MLB fielder playing 2B since 1950. Not five second basemen, it's only happened in five games.

The last time it happened, believe it or not, was Don Mattingly against the Royals in 1983. He moved to 2B for the 9th inning of the pine tar game.

This is the most CoMo that has ever CoMo'd.

Maybe, but at least I don't worship Peyton Manning.
