Still not sure why we’re taking the platinum glove centerfielder out of center to get NATE EATON in the lineup

It’s not to get Eaton in.

The choices were (1) This lineup. (Or some variation with Roman in the field or DHing) (2) Lowe at first, Romy at second, CR at cf. (3) Hamilton at second, Romy or Lowe at 1st, CR in CF.

As Lowe and Hamilton are LHH, they want to platoon RHHs against Rondon.

I don’t think you can get CR in CF without an extra lefty vs Rondon right now.

(2) and (3) are much better choices
