that's a different question. Vivas is great at getting on. If the Nats pitcher is not a groundball lefty, then maybe he should play more often and do a D sub if leading.

On most other MLB teams, true.  This one has a former 2B, now starting DH/1B, with no glove and a .577 OPS who finds his way into the lineup everyday.

Terrible at bats after the first.   Had the guy at 34 pitches through one, and these idiots start swinging at everything

Maybe Tena should play first. He hits. He was a weak fielder, but maybe he's good enough to play 1B.

He's arb2 next year, which is when Mini Me loves to dump salary, but I'm sure he has a spreadsheet somewhere showing the $ benefits of trading CJ away by this season's deadline.

CJ is not even close to the level of the others we let walk or traded…
