Yesterday, we wrote briefly about the possibility of Kyle Schwarber dropping down in the order, possibly down to the third spot, possibly a bit lower than that. The reasons for the change are known only to the managerial staff, but gleaning from the information they’re putting out, they’re looking for change. Since they couldn’t change the actual roster, they’re tinkering with the roster that is in their hands.
Many iterations can occur. Depending on where you believe players belong as far as skills (on base ability, chase rate, speed, etc.), the team does possess several different options for different spots in the order.
