Case in point, I'm not sure who should be at first and who at DH of Marcos Cano and Emilio Navarro. (Yes, I know they are both righties, which isn't optimal, but I'm not going to have a lefty at first anytime soon, unfortunately.) Updated Wednesday, August 9 2017 @ 7:13:01 am PDT

If you want to get Navarro some playing time at 1B and train him up, my thought would be to swap where Navarro and Cano are playing against either lefties or righties. It could take a couple of seasons for him to even get to lowercase that way, though. * I have a huge ballpark and don’t like playing anyone in the outfield with a range of less than 14, and preferably higher than that in center field, so take the range snobbery with that in mind. ¬.¬;
