re: DAT 6.19 | Astros v Mariners | 9:10 pm | McCullers vs. Elias

I really like Marisnick as a reserve outfielder. Good defensively and runs well so he can pinch run, and while he struggles at the plate his bat is fine as a bench guy. I think that's what he's going to settle into at some point, and it might be pretty soon on this year's team.
Once we get late in the stretch run and hopefully the playoffs I foresee many late inning Marisnick for Tucker pinch run and defensive substitutions

I don't think his bat is a good bench bat but defense and running can help late in games. I can't think of anyone on the roster I would want Jake to pinch hit for.

2016 Best Guess Roster (futile as it may be)
12 pitchers, 13 others
C - Castro, Conger
IF - Carter, Altuve, Correa, Lowrie
OF - Springer, Santana
DH - Gattis (LF or C in a pinch)
---
1B/LF/DH - Tucker
LF/CF/2B - Kemp
UTL - Villar or MarGo (or upgrade)
CF/PR - Marisnick
Just spit balling here. I also think Singleton gets traded, especially if the front office sees Tucker as a 1B option. We know already that Hinch will play dozens of lineup combos, so this group gives him plenty of options and talent.

Marisnick is 24 and has played in 167 games over 2.5 years in the majors. I think you guys are giving up on him too soon. He will be an everyday starter on a major league club somewhere.
Will it be the Astros? I don't know -- I do think the Astros are loaded with outfield everyday starter talent. Someone will be gone before next season starts.
As for Marisnick -- I like his skill set. Is he a perennial all-star? meh... most likely not. Is he an everyday starter? I think so.
