Chris Shelton should be called up instead of Josh Wilson.
I think it’s almost inexcusable that he’s not in the starting lineup tonight.
Okay, that said, Happy Felix Day! We could run anyone out there and still have a good chance to win with Felix. He’s been worth 2.8 wins in 14 starts (on pace for 7 wins in 35 starts!). More of this, please, Felix.
