H1t P@n@ 2nd !!!!!!
I mean your stat you posted helps prove that because he has only hit there 10 times since June 1 and has went to shit. (doesn't help Yordan got hurt around that same time)

His splits are still better with him hitting 2nd than anywhere else.

So you can either try to get the most out of him batting him in front of Yordan, or you can let him rot 6-9 and be pretty worthless.

Pena owes most of his batting sucess to Yordan imo

I was thinking about this yesterday and Pena's performance is really being overlooked in light of the other struggles on the roster. 

Keith Law updated his top 60 prospect list the other day and Baltimore has a SS that's blocked in AAA behind Gunnar Henderson with Jackson Holliday coming in behind him (Joey Ortiz).  Very different game from Pena (far better contact ability/strike zone judgement with less power).  I wonder if there's any chance of a match there, maybe on a three-way trade.

Ortiz is a plus defender who had an opportunity earlier this season in Baltimore.  Defense was not the problem.  He didn’t get untracked at the plate and that cost him consistent playing time competing with veterans Adam Frazier, Ramon Urias, and Jorge Mateo.  They sent him down so he could play everyday.

While Ortiz is Norfolk’s daily SS, he’s cross trained at 2B and 3B.  I wouldn’t characterize him as blocked as much as the possible odd man in a large group that includes Henderson, Holliday, Jordan Westburg, Mateo, Frazier, and Urias.

Thanks man, that just sent me down the rabbit hole of looking through the Pirates records from 2013-present. I had zero recollection of their 2015 98 win season.

We all expected Yordan to play tonight 

Tell me you're not Dusty Baker without telling me you're not Dusty Baker.

Seriously, is keeping him on the line all that shocking at this point?
