It has been nice to see Rivera start swinging the bat lately and Patterson has just seemed so ideally suited to batting in front of Bautista as a lefty who loves fastballs. I still don't like Rivera's effort level on the bases and in the field but I am coming around to him as DH once Lawrie arrives.
Oh and this is a few days ago but here's a basic summary of the super 2 thing for everyone who is wondering why Lawrie isn't here yet.

I think they call up Lawrie around the Baltimore series starting June 3rd which is when Lind is predicted to be back also unless Nix really starts hitting, looking good today though.
