The Atlanta Braves

Soler not being on the roster actually creates more flexibility. You don’t have to replace him late defensively.

You start Rosario, Joc and Duvall. You put Pache in for for Rosario late with lead.

You have no need for Heredia. The PHs are terrible but it is what it is now.

Heredia is actually our best option against LH’s statistically off the bench. He was 101 wRC+ this year and 103 wRC+ for his career. So he some use.
 
You can’t say “Leave Gore off the roster because snit doesn’t know how to use him” and “Keep Heredia on the roster because snit is definitely going to use him to PH against LHP” in the same breath
 
This would be my roster without Soler (I’d like to have Gore but I don’t trust Snit).

Eventually he would have to use him I would think lol. I guess since we are playing Dodgers then we won’t see many lefties either. But with Urias going at least one game I’d start Heredia over Joc. So there is some use there.

If heredia starts against Urias, it better be for rosario

Joc is absolutely horrid against lefties for his career. He was better this year but if we go against a lefty I’d like Joc to come off the bench in a situation where we can guarantee a righty. He’s more reliable than Eddie however on defense so either way I’m not gonna lose my mind.
 
We are really gonna need Duvall to play better. We can’t have him be a zero at the plate like the Milwaukee seriesn

Defense is the consideration BUT

If you think I’m turning down any Joc v dudger ABs in Joctober then you’ve got another thing coming

If we would have had Duvall all postseason last year I would have a giant script A tattooed on my calf right now. I’m getting Duvall every at bat I can. He is 1 of the bats I am least worried about after the big 3.
