They scored Bautista's hitting second base as an error? That is a bit strange in my opinion. I don't know why Encarnacion was even resigned after Oakland let him go.
management saw him as 30 hr potential, and he was cheaper than most other options at dh.
However, it looks like we should have tried for Damon or another free agent of the sort.
I'm fairly certain EE has a team option at the end of the year, and he's half the price even of Damon.
So even though he is hurting us in the season, his contract won't hurt us long term, which is good as we try to build.
When Lind comes back we should have Arencebia hit DH whenever he is not catching imo.
That way he can get more experience at big league at bats, while not having the wear and tear of catching every day.
