Or Sutton because he just got DFA’d

Can’t platoon him with Presley because both are left handed…

Jones & McGehee as the 1B platoon. McGehee has some nice numbers against lefties (.807 OPS and a 119 wRC+)

Snider should be given a shot as an everyday RF. If you want to platoon him, Presley or Sutton would be acceptable.

Garrett Jones has to be in the everday lineup at this point whether at first or RF. I can’t see Snider as an everyday option at this point. We still need either a everyday RF or 1B with Jones playing the one that isn’t filled.

I don’t think Headley would be the type of player you platoon, especially considering the price the Padres are asking for him.

I think either Sutton or Presley would be fine as a platoon with Snider if you want to do that… I think we need to give him a shot as an everyday player to determine his value.

If having picture perfect offspeed recognition is a requirement to play for the Pirates, then it’s going to be Andrew McCutchen and a pitcher as the only players in a lineup most nights. And even McCutchen still has problems with sliders outside and down.

Snider and Headley is a nice platoon with Jones/McGehee platoon at 1B. I love the Snider/Lincoln trade but should Snider be heavily relied on alone in RF?

Also, he has multiple hits in 3 of his 5 games so far.

Did you see him go 3 for 4 last night?

Pass. Headley’s hypothetical numbers can go somewhere else. Something left-handed in BP might work or even SS/1B.
