re: DAT 6/28: Astros (Framber) @ Mets (Carrasco) - 6:10 ct

Christian Walker has one of the weirdest stat lines I've ever seen hitting .206/.307/.478 but only striking out 19% of the time. His BABIP is .184, his expected batting average based on statcast is .275. An upgrade over Yuli even at his current numbers and a bounceback is in order for sure

Dominic Smith is blocked with the Mets and has struggled in only 100 ABs this year but has been good in the past when he's gotten consistent playing time

Kyle Farmer has played all over the infield including 20 or so games at first the last few years. I doubt it would be an issue handling it. Been really good the last two years but might not be that cheap with a few years of control

Brandon Drury also has played 20 or so games at first the last few years and is having a great year, rental

Hunter Dozier is having a nice bounce back year but has a weird/not great contract. Probably a pass for that reason

Gavin Sheets is blocked in Chicago and was good last year/struggled this year, but fine vs just righties. Could platoon with Yuli

There are others as well who could handle first that might be available and would at the very least be a large upgrade on the current bench situation. Walker and Drury are probably my favorite of the options I posted
