Waiting for the second game seems the best bet to me, if it’s no good, go for Sams
Probably not the percentage play but now Manenti is out Id be tempted to just C Short
My opinion - hold off. Meredith could easily take 3 against an underperforming Heat batting line up. If not, then you have a reasonable back up option.
The logical person in me says hold off, but the irrational person says go for MShort as C, the big worry of course is that Rogers gets hold of him early and he fails.
Is Sams really reasonable back-up
Thanks for you thoughts
