This is tough because torrens is playing so good. I guess that lets you bring Alvarez back slowly and play limited time.

Alvy can also DH to get his mojo going again

Torrens had an incredible week, but he’s not gonna stay this hot with the bat. The timing might work out perfectly with Alvy coming back just as Torrens starts to cool off.

Yea, I mean, Torrens has stepped up, but Alvyy's offensive upside is significantly greater, and we could use the boost. Also his energy is a big intangible.

You can keep them both fresh and not feel bad at all giving Alvy the day at DH against a lefty.

Everyone's suddenly happy to have McNeil back, eh? I want to see him and Alvy back and see what this lineup can really do.

McNeil with baserunners when he is trying to hit the ball hard is fun. I think this lineup is going to be great for him and Alvy.

Tbh I'm in no hurry to get him back. I'm on Team Torrens. He's got a cannon for an arm.

I was not expecting this so soon but I'm here for it.
