I do find it a bit encouraging.  Hopefully, he will turn things around and prove these staticticsl indicators correct.

Nice thought, I posted an article last season about this same time about Cutch. All things pointed to him being somewhat unlucky through April and May. With Polanco I will believe it when I see it. He is inconsistent because his swing is inconsistent.

I think the line up needs redone. Polanco shouldn't be getting more at bats than Cervelli, Dickerson, and Moran. Big year for Polanco as Meadows could be a call up. Meadows won't replace Dickerson or Marte.



My new line up:



Marte

Dickerson

Cervelli

Bell

Moran

Mercer

Polanco

Frazier/Moroff/Rodriguez (2B)



Or you can leave Mercer in the eight hole and move the 2B to sixth. This line up helps the righty-lefty throughout.

I like this line up.

Who? He is still the best option currently on the team. His back ups (Frazier and Rodriguez) are batting worse. Osuna is in the minors. Polanco is a better fielder than Frazier and Osuna too.

Just switch Polanco and Cervelli. It's tempting to get Josh Bell the heck out of cleanup for a good, long time too. Bell is a mess

Yes, that is the easy move for sure. We are getting nothing out of the 1 and 2 spots. Bell is still the threat in the line up. I'd leave him in the four hole for now. We shouldn't be giving three of those guys all the at bats. One of them is ok, not great, but ok.

Marte - bats like a leadoff man anyway

Dickerson - can get a lot of fastballs if Marte is on in front

Bell - switch hitter so, that works

Cervelli - Why not? he is producing

Polanco - maybe take some pressure off

Moran

Mercer

2nd baseman



When/if Harrison comes back bump everyone down one

I don’t think the lineup needs to be redone, but I would like for the Bucs to recall Osuna and play him in right field. After they lost the five games from the Phils and Tigers, Osuna got them on the right track with the homer in the second game of the doubleheader. They need another spark, and I believe getting him into the lineup will do that.
