Crowe's pitching pretty well so far, let's see if he can navigate two or three more scoreless innings and give us a chance to win a close one.
I really do like Tom's approach at the plate. Not sure he's a great fit for an everyday OF (and obviously neither Difo or Evans are), but might as well give him an extended look. I think we should keep churning and giving looks to guys, and then pivot the season around the handful of trades that are possible, promoting some younger guys where it makes sense and playing out the latter months of the season with even more of a youth vibe.
Come July or August I don't think guys like T. Frazier or Difo should be anywhere near the team (Frazier's been so awful that his spot has to be in jeopardy). In this regard I don't even mind continuing to run Evans out there. The league has figured him out and he has to make adjustments, but there aren't really a ton of other options yet anyways. When Hayes is back, I think Frazier should probably go over Evans.
