The thing that scares me moving Asdrubal though is he could really struggle. I believe we moved him to leadoff last year or the year before, and he tanked. He seems so comfortable at the 2 spot, I wouldn't move him. Wait for Pronk to get healthy (dear lord please be soon) an put him at 4 move Santana to the 5 spot.

I think cleanup for the youngster is too much for him right now

Moving him to the 5 spot wouldn't help him any. He needs somebody to protect him so he can see some hittable pitches. He needs to bat #2 or #3 with a good bat behind him, my IMO.

The Reds make the Indians look like the Indians of 1948:) They are just a bad team. Don't know how they hang with St. Louis.

I would not move Santana to the #2 hole in the batting order. He is just taking too many pitches and is very unsure of himself. Moving him to the #2 slot would just mean that whoever we would put at #3 would be hitting with one out the majority of the times. If anything, I would drop him down to the #7 slot or not move him at all because the Indians are doing okay right where he is in the order. However, moving him to #7 would not be as damaging. He is just striking out way too much to be hitting high in the lineup.

White going down is a real bummer. We had a depth of starting pitching and now with him going down we are pretty slim and are stuck with Carrasco who is only a five inning pitcher.

I guess we should enjoy it while we are winning. It will be interesting to see what happens over the next 10 days when we play the Red Sox, Tampa Bay, and the Jays. That will tell a big story about this team.

He looked really good in Columbus on Friday. 7Ks in 7 innings, complete game shutout. It was only 7 innings since they had to finish the game from Thursday before Friday's game.
