I’d like to give Gomez a couple weeks to settle, ideally you’d want your best hitter batting third. The one thing Gomez’s NV stats that does concern me (last AB notwithstanding) is that he doesn’t walk much.
They seemed to do that to good effect at the end of 21. Wouldn’t hurt to try it again.
My concern with JD is the seeming lack of development of much of the staff since we switched to recruiting higher velo guys vs JD’s soft throwing lefty staples.
