re: What Lineup Changes Do You Think CJJ Makes This Week?

Neal has more pop in his bat hes a better hitter than Kling

That's fine if Neal is catching, but when it comes to figuring out the OF, Kling is the better option.

Both have shown so far to be heavy K guys, but Kling at least gets on base more than Neal and gives you gold glove defense at the most important defensive position besides catcher.

If it comes down to Kling vs Neal in the OF, you're weakening your defense for high K-rate guy with pop because it also moves Bingham to CF. If Kling is in CF, you're strengthening your defense for a high K-rate guy with better OBP.
