    Reds @ Padres 4-19-19

    Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. -- Carl Sagan (Pale Blue Dot)

    So it looks like Kemp and Schebler are quasi-platooning with WInker moving between LF and CF. Kemp and Schebler splitting time makes sense. Ocne Senzel returns, both Kemp and Schebler hit the bench with regularity. With Dietrich a lefty bat on the bench, I'd shop Schebler for bullpen help.

    Schebler for bullpen help? Yeah, maybe they can get a bullpen rosin bag for him.

    Disagree. There is a shortage of decent outfielders these days. Many teams have washed up guys and career minor leaguers out there. Schebler can run, has pop, is cheap and has multiple years of control remaining. A few teams would like him for, if nothing else, competent big league help while rebuilding and dumping off an expensive short timer. Giants come to mind. Orioles too.

    You are assuming Schebler is a decent outfielder. He isn't. He can't hit.

    Career .772 OPS. That's better than a lot of guys starting on many teams. Slightly above average the last three years. He's not a guy the Yankees or Red Sox would be after. He'd be an upgrade in SF, Miami, Baltimore, Maybe KC, off the top of my head. Schebler and Zach Duke (as contract ballast/placeholder) for Tony Watson. That would improve the Reds and it helps the Giants.

    Let’s try this again. Reds will score 7 runs tonight.

    I don't think the Giants would go for that. Watson's career record is 37-23, with a 2.66 ERA. Schebler can't hit his way out of a paper bag this year.

    really hoping disco proves me wrong, but he's been awful this year. and it doesn't look like bad luck. however, it's also been a very small sample size. [disclaimer: i've never thought he was very good, so i'm probably biased. but i maintain he has looked really bad this year and i have no faith it will get better.]

    I like Peraza hitting 9th. It puts him directly in front of Votto, Suarez and Puig without putting his low OBP at the top of the line-up getting extra PAs and without the pitcher making an out in between. I don't think Votto is what he once was, but he's still the guy in this line-up most likely to help a struggling guy get some stuff to hit because hes hitting behind him. I'm predicting a couple of hits for Peraza with some rallies resulting with the guys behind him.

    The only change I'd make would be to drop Kemp to 6th with Casali and Winker each moving up a spot. Yeah, that's right, I'd hit Casali clean-up with a lefty on the mound.
