McKenna mashes AAA pitching. Never really had an opportunity at regular ML ABs.

If it was 2019-2021 I’d want him playing everyday. This year? Would prefer him to be used as little as possible. But he does all the little things right, is fast, and plays great defense.

Pounce on him early, keep having good at bats.

The few times Sale has pitched in recent seasons he's still been good. Anyone hear how he looked in ST?

[Mackus]

Maybe he'll never get out?

If he’s starting today he’s starting every game. Missed the hanger, swung at the good one.
