I am just seeing it as MJ earned it last year, including Opening Day, the same as Bobby. And we both agree there are two good reasons to make Pratto wait, which do not include any gaming. I do agree with you that, in the grand scheme of things this year, that the extra games we could have won with MJ over Dozier at DH from the jump, will most likely not be the difference. I am just looking at it from my (and maybe MJ's?) eyes, that you have got to be kidding me that MJ does not deserve it over Dozier from Day One. Hopefully he keeps a good attitude about it. Mine boiled over the other day when they have MJ over playing 3B with the minor leaguers. That is what Dozier should have been doing IMO. Anyway, I may have just been seeing wishful thinking fool's gold sneaky Matheny from MJ getting DH yesterday, just a day after I started thinking that He deserves that over Whit. Thank you for hearing me out.

So I was a little surprised that it would only be 25 more runs or a lineup that is 2 wins better. I know much improvement is going to have to come from the pitching side but I was hoping for a little more improvement on the offensive side as well. I guess in hindsight…..it is pretty much the same team as last year with just one major addition from the minors. Hopefully MJ and Pratto add more.
