Doubt he gets called up. Unless there is many injures. Can only add two players in Sept. now. Unless they just cut bait with Shogo. Doubt that happens still owed money through next season.

He (Senzel) had a 54 OPS+ last year and his career is a 77 OPS+. He's not adding value with offiense.He'd be a utility player for me. I'd swap Shogo out for Inciarte and Senzel would be my multi-position back-up. My bench would be Senzel, Naquin, Aquino, Suarez and whoever isn't catching.

All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

I get the argument about Inciarte being good in CF (though it seems his peak years may be behind him there) but man, that's just not enough to justify his sub-Shogo offense the last two seasons. Playing him every day would be nuts.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

Inciarte was actually a pretty good hitter early in his career. He hit .278 .303 .291 .304 and .265 his first 5 years. The past 3 years he has hit .246 .190 and .215. I wonder what happened to him? He is only 30 years old. The past 3 years should have been amongst his best years, not worst.
i like it. zero downside.
Inciarte's OPS is 50 points higher than Shogo's and only 40 points lower than Senzel's. He'd make that up easily on defense and Senzel could be the utility guy who moves around and gets 3 or 4 starts per week at different positions. Its probably the best way to keep him healthy. The team has been scoring a lot of runs with very little offense from CF. May as well get the best defense out there we can.
Other than the contract, I don't see any argument for keeping Shogo on the roster over Inciarte - or Lopez or Schrock or Barrero for that matter.
