Pretty sure before Lagares got hurt CY was rehabbing and batting leadoff - which is the spot he's actually batted most in his career.
Heck, if Lagares comes back and continues to hit and get on base, maybe he becomes a leadoff option?
The PT issue will arise if EY continues to play over his head and then Lagares comes back and doesn't hit.
In the grand scheme of things Earl is right though because some combination of the non-core players (Gee, Niese, Murphy, Duda, Flores, etc.) needs to be turned into a legitimate SS.
