Didn’t mean to go off there, I agree with much of what you said. His bench got a lot better when they got Naylor and Geno. He was hamstrung by DMo, Haniger, Solano, Mastrobuoni. They were depending on backups (Canzone, Garver, Raley, Rowdy) and a rookie (Williamson) for half the year. Those guys are not everyday big leaguers on a championship club.

The condition of the bench was my main beef with Dipoto this year. Funny though how adding two good starters improves it.
Even now he's stuck with some guys that he can't seem to figure out how and when to use though. Raley should be getting some starts. Julio, Robles and especially Arozarena could use some bench or DH days. Servals was always good at rotating guys and using the DH.
All mute points now, really. I think they just got rhe #2 seed with a Detroit win. A welcome break incoming.
