I get the whole Pache thing. I mean, if they don't think he's ready to hit at this level, they don't want to expose him, but that just makes the idea of starting him against Nola that much more questionable.

And if you were getting ANYTHING from the other CF or the DH, it might be a viable thing. You have to give him a chance to sink. Give him a start or two and see how he hangs. He could be a huge spark, even if it's entirely luck driven.

The other CF got pinch hit for by Adeiny Hechavarria for a right on right matchup tonight. You can't do that and also be afraid of playing Pache a time or two in place of Ender.
