There is in literally every lineup in baseball.  That includes every team that's in 1st place right now.

I pick Rojas to have big game, 2 hits 3 rbi

I like Walsh hitting 2nd when Ohtani isn't hitting. Him and Trout should be back to back in some way every game while Rendon is out.

What was the league minimum back when you were a kid?

Good to see Rengifo's name NOT there.

Send him down when Rendon returns.

Definitely not the Dodgers lineup that is stacked 1 through 8 even with Bellinger out.

This lineup is definitely weak without Stassi, Rendon and Ohtani in the lineup.

I’m comparing it to opening day line up. The Halos are significantly weaker with what they have to work with now. They need Stassi and Rendon back in a hurry. Fletcher seems to be making good contact now so that will help a bit.

No minimum they did not have a union. 1 year contracts same team year after year.

The dodgers are averaging 1/10th of a run per game more than we are.

We don't talk about the Dodgers in positive light here @rageous unless you're @Angelsjunky trying to jinx them. 

[Angelsjunky]

I love the Dodgers.

[Angelsjunky]

I love the Rangers even more.

Gotta love Shohei's July ERA.

[Duren, Duren]

Rengifo and Rojas are pretty weak infield options. Depth is important over the long haul. I wouldn't be surprised to see a move made soon to change this equation. Rengifo can play adequate defense, but Rojas is a real project. One spring training isn't much to build expectations on. A feel good story, but he has to show he deserves the roster spot.

I'm at the game. Over by the fair poll. Will take a pic when Ohtani gets on the mound.
