With Kendrick scratched, here is tonight's lineup.
Turner SS
Eaton OF
Cabrera DH
Thames 1B
Suzuki C
Castro 2B
Keiboom 3B
Stevenson OF
Robles OF
I'm an optimist, but that may be the worst pre-September lineup we've put on the field in years. There are some guys who can hit, but the infield defense is Manny Acta-era bad on paper.
It is early, but a week from now if Kendrick or Cabrera isn't delivering at the plate then I'm not sure where the offense comes from around Soto. Eaton and Turner are solid at the top and Robles looks good early, but we need some more pop in the middle.
