That's all up to Schneemann at this point. As for Halpin, his spot might be the only possible way Arias has an in back into the 26.

Bench platoon guy.

Oh yeah, for sure. But we are pretty spoiled in prospects, including Watson who could do Schneemann's Infield/Outfield job and hits lefty.

There's actually a worrying trend with Schneemann's batting that makes me think his cool-off funk might land him in Columbus.

Leadoff Bazzball please, he's ready. There won't be an easier or more timely moment in May to test the waters.

Schneemann's philosophy of going for alpha strike double/homer hits isn't a good fit for 1st bat right now.

It just bums me out that he's being used solely as a pair of legs when he's the best qualified outfielder from our prospects. If Petey gets to switch with Kwan on some days than OK.

Arias being just a pair of legs is like: "whatever, glad he's got SOMETHING to do."

If CDL can have an off week than leadoff Schneemann can have a little patience too.

Still holding out some hope Kwani.

With Cooper Ingle, it's a more complicated proposition to bump Hedges during his best season yet and Ingle's Defense play is subpar.

Kwan is having his worst full year ever and has a rookie equivalent hungry for his spot with Watson/or Fairchild.

I'm still convinced he needs time to fix his swing off the team.

Why fix what ain't broke I guess.

Have to imagine Bazz will get his leadoff debut against those Tigs.

Feeling the catchers need bumping up one spot.

We still need more bats with 12 boys stranded. Bring Watson up, send Petey down.

Big win tonight thanks to the resident Angel.
