Good.  He should be at First Base for awhile. But apparently they refuse to do that.  Catching is going to be harder on the thumb than hitting.  Why not wait another week and put him at first till then.  

Wade is beginning to leak a little. So is Duggar.  And against lefties Ruf can play left with Slater in Center. 

Casali is a good catcher and has begun to hit a bit.  So use him and let Buster get a bit more time for the thumb. While still getting his bat in the lineup.

This group is very process driven.  Great. It’s worked. But sometimes you need to adjust. And go with gut.  Case in point. Ruf hits a mammoth HR.  Next time around he’s up with runners on first and third. Sixth inning. No outs.  Kapler puts in Wade to hit for him.  Cause they brought in a right hander. I get the platoon.  Numbers etc.  But Ruf isn’t helpless vs Righthanders.  And he’s had a lot of good ABs lately. Plus I’d rather keep his bat in if they have a lefty next time round. And save Wade for another time.
