I like that in addition to Upton (assuming he comes off the bench) we potentially have 3 pinch runners for late game situations.

The Indians led the AL in stolen bases so this gives us a counter-punch to that. And in a series where I would expect pitching and defense to be prominent in a "who makes less mistakes" kind of game, Goins and Pompey make sense as runs could be very scarce in some of these games.
