Our lineup is pretty stacked now. Werth and Zimmerman are the easy outs now
Pretty sure that Wieters is an easy out at this point.
So based on this...
Severino to AAA. I would say Lobaton would stick as the defensive minded catcher... but perhaps they want Norris as a platoon partner.
We know these will stay: Drew, Heisey, Lind
In theory, the team could just roll with Lobaton and Norris as bench pieces, sending Severino and Taylor down to Triple A. Turner's ability to play CF gives you some short term flexibility, in that for a few games, you can play Drew at SS and Turner in CF. If it's long term, you put someone on the DL and call up a player from Triple A.
If Norris can find his bat again, he's definitely a guy you want to get some starts to against LHP, as well as make for a nice pinch hitter. Drew and Lind are pretty poor against LHP, so you don't want to leave Heisey and Taylor/Difo as the remaining pinch hitter. Norris provides a good option. Plus, we know at some point, Zimmerman will go on the DL. Be nice to have a platoon of Lind/Norris to start at first base.
