This is Baty’s last chance. My fingers are crossed because he can really be an X factor for this lineup. Not sure what I’d do with Acuna? I was thinking platoon but if they want him to play everyday I assume he starts in Syracuse.
Yeah, I think Acuna may be going down. They don't want him sitting on the bench. On the other hand, he may not have much more to learn at AAA, and he brings much more stick off the bench than Donovan Walton.
Tricky decision.
I think you're right about Baty, though. If he misfires again, he's going to end up in a package for some pitching and prospects. And I'm not sure we're going to be all that patient, either. If he's dancing on the Mendoza line when McNeil comes back, that could be it.
EDIT [12:39 p.m. EDT]: Donovan Walton got cut today. So, it's Acuna on the roster at least until McNeil gets back.

I like the idea of platooning Baty and Acuna. Acuna could also spell Lindor at short, and Baty spell Vientos at 3rd. McNeil to the outfield
