If they want to game service time with Nicky Lopez a bit and delay his promotion until June, I can see that. But with Gutierrez up and Dozier about ready to return to playing the field, Owings needs to be relegated to playing against LHP only (basically, when O’Hearn gets a seat).
But Lopez should be up in June at the latest (dude has a grand total of 3 Ks, which is just extraordinary). And Starling, if he gets to the AAA ASB with a .800 or better OPS, should be up, too.
Merrifield
Mondesi
Gordon
Dozier
O’Hearn
Soler
Gallagher/Maldonado (Viloria off to a horrendous start with bat means they may just sit with this)
Hamilton/Starling
Lopez
Is at least an interesting lineup to watch.

Our offense, Dozier in particular, has been a rather pleasant surprise to watch. If we had a modicum of middle to closing pitching, we might actually be in the WC hunt.
