If they bring back Suarez (hot rumor) he will get 56+…if they don’t, he will walk 2-3 times per game, and might hit 50.
If I’m leading the meeting…”DO NOT let Raleigh beat you, PERIOD”. Geno’s swing and miss can be covered in this lineup. It changes the lineup massively. You have to pitch Julio and Randy straight up with Cal and Geno sandwiched between them. Polanco too.
IFL Edgar, but he became a HOF’er because he was Junior’s protection. Buhner benefited hitting behind Edgar the same way. They were pitched differently because of Junior.
If (BIIIG IF) they pull it off, Julio’s window to become a superstar opens. No more pressure to hit the 6 run homer, just make hard contact and hand it on to Cal, et al…
WTBS, I wouldn’t bet on it…
