If Chisenhall is an emergency option only for CF and Brantley is actually able to come back, then I question if Lonnie should have a roster spot at all.
He isn't getting playing time against LHP and he isn't playing ahead of Bruce or a healthy Brantley in the corners.
Is there room for a backup outfielder that isn't an option v. LHP and doesn't provide value as a defensive replacement or pinch runner?
Guyer can play against LHP. Allen can pinch run and sub into CF late in games.
Going with just five outfielders would allow Francona to keep 12 pitchers too.
