Lastella hit .322 with .743 ops at aa
Gosselin hit .344 with .866 ops at aaa

Lastella has shown his game translates. Gosselin hasn't got a chance.

You telling me that in this train wreck of an offense we can't take a chance on gosselin with those stats?

If I could make out the lineup card tomorrow, this is what I'd do:

Lastella (2b)
Ff (1b)
Jup (lf)
Jhey (rf)
Gattis (c)
Bonafacio (cf)
Gosselin (3b)
Simmons/Pena*(ss)

*good chance Simmons is back tomorrow
And aGAIN I ask, who do you sit to play Gosselin? CJ? He's been a very good hitter since coming to Atlanta and is scorching the last month. LaStella is locked in at 2B. Gosselin can't play SS. And we traded for Bonifacio because we think he's better than anyone else on our bench currently. Gosselin has also never played OF to my knowledge, so benching BJ is out. You can hate on Fredi all you want, but Gosselin just doesn't have a position to play right now.
