If the plan was to sit Kiké against a righty then they reeeeally should have just kept Duran for another day!
Honestly, what is the infatuation with Arroyo in the outfield? He is atrocious out there. He has literally cost them as much in the 70 innings he's played in the outfield as they've gained from having JBJ out there the rest of the time (-3 OAA/-4 DRS). You tolerate that if it's Manny Ramirez. But if it's... Christian Arroyo?
ADD: Okay, I guess they had to add JBJ back. Still, I'd rather just about any configuration, including Dalbec at 1B and Cordero in the outfield, to playing Arroyo out there.
According to AC Arroyo will be spelling Raffy X and Story this week. Yeah so why not Bobby over Arroyo tonight?

I see the kings of commentary are back for this series. Mike Monaco and Eck or Youk are by far better than these two.

His bat stinks, and his outfield defense is atrocious, but when you have a chance to put a guy at leadoff who can work a count like that... well, you just have to take it.

Also Bobby canât get on his hot streak unless you play him. I really liked his double against Montas yesterday. Like why not DFA Arroyo, make Kiké utility and call up Duran to play OF full time?

Seems like Arroyo is super unpopular here. I actually like him and understand how difficult being a part time ML baseball player can be.

Dumb move, Bloom. Duran has nothing left to prove at AAA. JBJ should be a 4th OF/defensive replacement at best. Arroyo is your designated utility man. You could send down/DFA Braiser or send down Valdez and lose nothing.

You could send down/DFA Braiser or send down Valdez and lose nothing. Yeah I’m not sure what their plan for Duran is. Keep him in AAA and use him as a trade chip at the deadline? Like you said he doesn’t have much to prove at AAA playing in that launch pad.

Seems like Arroyo is super unpopular here. I actually like him and understand how difficult being a part time ML baseball player can be. I like Arroyo perfectly well in his proper role! I certainly wouldn't agree with the suggestion that he be DFA'd. Among other things, I'd note he has a career high xwOBA, but has been Verdugo-like in his unluckiness, and I'd like to give his bat a chance to heat up.
But he's an infielder, and emphatically not an outfielder. Putting him out there is the only thing I object to.

Arroyo plays a nice 2nd base, but in Rf he is a semi butcher.I like his fire, but he makes too many plays in RF where you know JBJ would have made the play.
