Happ can play just about everything Baez can, right? Does that possibly make Baez a trade piece in July?

Baez plays 3B/SS/2B, Happ plays 2B/OF. If anything the player who's currently out in the cold is Almora. He's clearly the better option than Happ defensively, but Happ's bat is looking pretty special and Joe clearly prefers him at this point.

I'm kinda only half paying attention because hockey playoffs are still going but why are the Giants so bad this year? I know Bum got hurt, but I thought we were supposed to be decent. A quick eye ball of it and the hitting looks lovely even by the Giants' usual low standards

Willaimson's AB was a pretty good metaphor for Giant's hitting this year. Also the rotation has looked terrible until recently and the bullpen is still supremely sketchy.

A 3-0 lead going into the second is good and all, but I'm not relaxing. No lead is safe with Arrieta on the mound.

This will make sure you don't suggest to the KDz
That he should grow greens instead of crushing on MCs

Almora isn't gonna be moved, if anything Jays play time will be reduced to pinch hitting.

I thought Happ could play some third as well. Guess not.

Joe would have to get over his hard on for matchups and actually let Almora start against RHP for that to happen.
