Time for Guardians’ Vogt to Embrace the Power of Benching Players

The Guardians have finally demoted Brayan Rocchio to Columbus to get full-time reps there at shortstop - what will they do with Will Brennan who has replaced him?

First of all, welcome back, Will Brennan, a good person and teammate. Also, good luck to Brayan Rocchio who can now do what Gabriel Arias did last season and spend his time in Columbus gearing up for a return trip to the big leagues if he makes the adjustments he is asked to make.

The Guardians now have ten hitters I want to see in the lineup as often as possible: Bo Naylor, Kyle Manzardo, Carlos Santana, Daniel Schneemann, Gabriel Arias, Jose Ramirez, Steven Kwan, Angel Martinez, Nolan Jones and Jhonkensy Noel.
