Rankin Woley starting at DH

Ummm Romero hello...

he deserves his chance. I think this young man might turn out to be a masher.

Good there needs to be a change.. Idk how the players like Adams doesn't work on weakness in the offseason or if he has how they can't improve? If I were him I wouldn't have had anyone throw anything but curve balls and sliders to me all day and night until I improved. Then I would sit on this pitch because I know I would get it 80% of the time. He needs to bend his knees and put his weight back to sit on those breaking balls then destroy it. You start hitting that 430 ft they will change their approach.

Woley looks like a masher. Every at bat he has had this year, and I know it has only been a handful, have been quality. Hope he impresses today.

Templet will likely get some ABs in the early going as well. All part of the early feeling out process. Quality at bats = more opportunities. Simple as that.

Hoping Woley makes the most of the opportunity, he's done well in his small sample size of at bats.

Also would help produce competition at the DH spot if he does well. Need these guys to push each other.

This could end up being a special freshman class if Woley, Smith, and Slaughter keep up the pace.

Woley with a rocket to the right center field gap, triple!
