Jay loves lefties, but I do believe he wants some balance and will pay attention to matchups. Good news is he has options.

From Dandy Don, Scott's interview with JJ
quote:
DandyDon: It sounds like you’ve got a lot of options for the designated hitter spot, including McManus when he’s not catching.
Jay Johnson: Yeah, and there’s another element. Finding left-handed and right-handed balance is important to me, especially as you talk about going through an SEC schedule with the number of right-handers with really good arms and power breaking balls. You can’t just trot seven right-handed hitters up there; it’s not going to work. So that’s something we have to look at.

Is it hurting Gio that he’s another lefty? I wonder how much Jay cares about matchups.
Shouldn’t be. Jobert is the presumed RF starter at the moment and bats lefty as well. Last nights “home” team, which could be a presumed starting lineup went lefty righty the whole way till the 8/9 position, which went righty righty with Milazzo and Dugas.
As for those talking about Gio playing CF, I would’ve thought that would be the case too if I’m the starting lineup; but hasn’t been. Even in scrimmages where he has played with Crews, Crews has still been the CF with Gio playing RF; so Johnson seems set on keeping Crews in CF no matter who’s out there with him.
I think Drost has fallen back in the OF race. Whatever mojo he had going in the fall has been lost in the spring so far.

It’s helping Gio that he is a lefty. JJ wants left handed hitters
