Dropping Fowler from leadoff and dropping Torres from cleanup (though he didn’t drop far). Moving Snell and Hodo up were both needed. Plattner at 4 is interesting but I don’t hate it (part of it I’m sure is Vaughn likes to keep the L R L R pattern). He’s been a good surprise with the bat so far and he should see some better pitches there with Hodo behind him and often times guys on base. Also, a lot of speed at the bottom. Hopefully this move takes some pressure off Fowler (who has had some tough luck in some ways) and get him going. Staton getting back to 100% is needed too, probably still some rust that needs to be shaken off from his finger injury.
