  1. If Tucker continues to hit...what do you do in the OF when Acuna comes up?  Logical choice is to somehow move Markakis, but he’s been swinging the bat well and adds some veteran leadership.  

    I see Tucker being a younger/cheaper Markakis, but with more power (.270, 25+ homers) so certainly don’t want to see him in a platoon or bench role.

    Not sure how the ballpark normally plays but last year all you had to do was lift one to left field and the ball would get out. I still remember the game last year because I was amazed at how much the ball was carrying. This Shaw grand slam looked like a normal fly out off the bat. 

    Wind blows out straight to left 30+ mph 90% of the time.  

  3. I think we can flirt with .500 if Newcomb can throw strikes. Teharan is having a great spring and usually follows up shitty years with good ones, so he’s due. Folty and McCarthy should be serviceable with a couple young guys waiting in the wings for 5th spot, so Newcomb being a sub-3.50 ERA guy is key to us being around .500. 

    The lineup should be fine...especially when Acuna comes up. Could be really good if Swanson lives up to his #1 pick status (I’ll take a .280, 15-20 homer guy). I’m expecting Albies to have a big year.
