But, just who is that man? Currently, I do not think it is Andre Ethier (may never be back), Adrian Gonzalez (another two weeks?), Logan Forsythe (at least a week away), Willie Calhoun (not ready), Scott Van Slyke (seriously?), O’Koyea Dickson (sliding badly after great start), Brett Eibner (no), Trayce Thompson (needs another few weeks) or Alex Verdugo (Verdugo is holding his own at AAA, but with absolutely no power). Maybe one of them could step up later, but at this juncture, it doesn’t appear that one of them is the answer. It’s a big blow to lose Andrew Toles, who seemed to just be coming into his own and it’s a shame, but it is what it is, and it truly is next man up!
Next Man Up!
