Is R.Baldelli playing every day? It sounds like he is going to have 1 or 2 days off a week.

Well I would have more to say, but you pretty much just answered your own question. They don't want to rush him back to quickly, so they will give him a couple days off each week.

Baldelli will probably get at least a day off every week for the next month or so. Maddon does not want to wear him out by playing CF every day, so he is being safe and sitting him once a week or so. I would think come August if he is still healthy, then Maddon will start him basically every day for the rest of the year.

Yes, he will sit once a week, but it is pretty easy to figure out which day he will be sitting. Day game after night game.

Since June 7th, he's played in every game except on the 22nd vs. ARI. Also, it looks like he only PH on the 18th vs. PHI & the 25th vs ATL.

The TB depth chart through Yahoo has him listed as the starting CF and it looks like he'd only loose ABs to Hollins once in awhile since Gomes is limited to DH with the bad shoulder.

He has sat out 4 games since he has been back, a total of 18 games. But he has pinch hit or came into a ball game later on 3 times, mainly for just 1 AB.

As a huge Baldelli fan and an owner of him in a few of my leagues, I hope he can DH when playing AL only games when the manager thinks he needs a rest.

I'm really hoping he starts everyday after the ASB.

Most likely he'll sit out and let Gomes DH.

Would you drop Winn for Baldelli? I have been considering it.
