I think the Story playing time is understandable since there was not a viable option. I could see giving him a pass earlier after the numbers he put up last season but his strikeout rate is beyond alarming...whats it been...a strikeout in 25 straight games now?

The Cargo situation is a combination of things...tenure of course but I think if Dahl was healthy he could have been pushed to a smaller role. I don't think the team is thrilled with Tapia's defense in right, so it has been more of a position by default for Cargo.

The offense is awful because the bottom half of the lineup is atrocious. Reynolds has slowed down, Cargo is Cargo, Story is a strikeout machine and Lucroy is blah...nothing to fear there from the opposition.

I am guessing they will have Desmond rotate between 1B, SS and maybe some left field but SS is his natural position.
