Where do you put Neal in the lineup when not catching?

It depends on if he's only not catching back to back or if he's not playing the day after catching.

DH, 2B, 3B, and 1B are all options.

I wonder if they're expecting him in the lineup for 45+ games in a 60+ game season?

That would be like 27 games caught, 18 or so somewhere else.

I do think that if Pearson or Tanks gets hurt for an extended period of time, we're more likely to see Neal take their place than Nippolt or a freshman. In-game or one/two game scenarios, probably not. But for an extended run, I think it would be him.
