Dubon needs more playing time / at bats, chas and jake less of both 

I do not at all understand the clamoring to bench Jake Meyers.  His k rate is below 20% and he hits the shit out of the ball.  His wRC+ of 111 is in the top 10 of all MLB CF this season and his low babip indicates he’s probably been unlucky offensively.  He catches balls in CF that almost no one else would.

Aside from having a weak throwing arm (which I assume is why Verlander refuses to play with him), he’s badass and should be playing every day.

We are having problems scoring runs, right mow dubon is generating runs. All three are great role players. Roll with the hot hand and then the best match ups 

If you want Dubon in the lineup, 1B seems to make a lot more sense than displacing Meyers.

Meyers in at CF, Dubon goes to 1B replacing Abreu who would have led off the 9th LF replacing Yordan.  No way we could blow a 6 run league in this bandbox right?

And if you're going to make a defensive sub Abreu is a far greater liability than Yordan.
