Legit only positive is probably Tucker. I guess Shuck with the effort too – he's certainly doing as much as he can to keep his roster spot.
I imagine Clint will probably have Tucker back lower in the order vs. all the veteran lefties this weekend, but I think I'd just keep him at the top. We need the spark, even if he'll have a couple of games where he looks like a rookie. To me, his plate discipline is pretty solid so far, and the ball jumps off his bat. When you add the speed, that's a top of the order bat on this team. I think I'd like to see him and Marte 1-2, then maybe Frazier for the time being. Drop Polanco down behind Bell.
