I’ve said it for weeks but you have to play the kids. I never expected an entirely youthful lineup, but I have long expected some injection of youth into the regular starting lineup. We got a taste of that with Busio starting last week, but let’s go deeper. With the playoffs fully out of reach, there is no reason to run players into the ground (though they do have the longest offseason in forever to rest up — no games at Children’s Mercy Park until March sounds horrific).
One thing that I think has to happen and I think it would be criminal if it didn’t, was that Roger Espinoza needs a rest.
