Would just like to say that I will predict Cozart gets his first hit tonight and we get the W. #CozartforSS

I would send Janish down and DFA Renteria. Cozart should be playing everyday for awhile. Janish can keep playing at AAA. Cairo can be emergency SS should Cozart get hurt, then bring up Janish the next day. We could use a bat off the bench, and that isn't Janish or Renteria.
The last thing I would do is leave the team short one infielder, when your (then) starting SS has never played in the majors before. He goes from AAA straight to MLB, with no existing SS to work with, and cover him if he gets blasted?
What's the point of dropping both of your SS's and leaving an open spot on the 25 man? Who else would you bring up, and why?

Janish & EV send down
Fisher up
This is a horrible move unless Cozart gets 95% of the playing time. If Renteria ends up with more (or any really) playing time it hurts the team

Bring up Frazier if you have to have another infielder. At least he can hit. I'd be happy with Sappelt or Alonso too. The point is if you are bringing up Cozart, he should be playing every day. Why have backups who can't hit. Cozart supposedly doesn't need a defensive replacement, so why have Janish on the team. He can go to AAA and maybe find his stroke to where it was last year. Even then, he stays down unless Cozart completely flops. I just don't see him hitting nearly as bad as Janish has. Renteria has been useless as a fielder and hitter. Even if Cozart flops, he won't be worse than what has been out on the field this year. Move both SS off the team, and Dusty will have to play the rookie.
