Harold vs. lefties: .289/.800. That's better than Oscar's .279/.765, but considering Oscar's much better defense he probably has the edge. I could see a Zimmer/Mercado platoon. It would also give us two guys capable of playing center if Straw needs a day off or goes down.
For me the wild card is Daniel Johnson. Huge power, great speed, but can this guy hit major league pitching? I have no idea, but he's been doing really well since his last call-up. As of Aug. 30 he has only 18 AB's this month. That's like five games. And that's with Harold Ramirez and Josh Naylor out. Why haven't they been playing him?
Straw has 4 hits in his last 27 at-bats. He needs a couple of days off. Johnson needs to play more, but now it looks like Harold is ready to return.
