That lineup has me hard. Sun Peña and that should be the playoff lineup. 

Good luck with that. Maldy is going to probably catch JV, LMJ, and Framber. 

That said, Chas and Diaz in the outfield intrigues me.

If Urquidy doesn’t turn it around in his last couple of starts, his playoff roster spot has to be in jeopardy. He has pitched the worst out of the six starters lately and I don’t think he is a good fit as a bullpen arm. Won’t be a popular decision in the dugout but tough titty. 

Why take him out- so you can put in Maton?  He (and Garcia) should make the roster if for no reason other than if we are getting it shoved up our ass and want to waive the white flag they have enough length to go 5 and finish the game while saving our higher leverage arms for the next day, and they obviously have enough experience and talent that they might keep us in the game and give us a chance to come back. They are the fuys you bring on down 5-1 in the 3rd inning if it Goes down that way. That’s more valuable than Maton imo. 
but yeah- the idea of staring him over Javier is absurd. It absolutely needs to be JV/Framber/LMJ and Javier in that order.

Not sure you need Garcia or Urquidy in the ALDS but agree on at least one for the ALCS.
