Coming back sooner than everyone expected. Nice to hear.

Never thought I'd say this, but of the options the Angels currently have, that might be the best combo?  And if Fletcher continues to struggle at the plate, maybe Duffy at 2B, though that's a downgrade defensively.

Probably the best configuration if they want to get the most out of their MIF defense

Yep, and I don't think any other combo is even close.

Wade a minute before Fletcher is given 2ND.

Good up the middle defense then, when Stassi is behind the plate

The other 7 in the lineup better hit well enough, though.

Would figure then that Mayfield gets sent down when Fletcher activated, since Wade supplies the speed that Maddon likes and Duffy has no options?

I know that Walsh has struggled against lefties, but you can't sit him against every left or most lefties he faces. You got to get his bat in the lineup! 

Wade has also hit lefties ok.

besides thar this lineup sucks.

Sandy needs to be on his A game! need to have Command, mix and match with that change up.

Glad the hand felt good in the cage.

It’s only a day away.

I'm fine with Velaz starting but he should be PH for in late important situations

Did Suzuki catch Sandoval on his last start ?

[Tank]
