[The Athletic] Hello, DH? Ranking Arizona’s designated hitter options if baseball returns
- 1. Jake Lamb. Lamb is the established big leaguer most in need of additional at-bats, although this would not be a full-time assignment for the left-handed slugger. Nor should it be. Lamb plays third and first and would still see some time at those positions, either to spell Eduardo Escobar and Christian Walker with off days or to allow either of those hitters to move into the DH slot themselves. If Lamb were defensively limited — and more of a sure thing offensively — perhaps manager Torey Lovullo would write him into the lineup at DH every day.
