Then I suggest Diaz to replace someone whos doing shit like say Kendall. you go, "wahh sample size".. thats arguably the stupidest thing you said. DUH!! you wont know if someone can sustain it unless they keep playing!!
Vs righties
Bill Phillips - IF - 85 AB - 271/354/365
Kendall - IF - 237 - 194/233/333
Phillips sample size might be "low" but an educated coach would see that someone with 237 abs vs righties with a OBP if .233!!! would consider a change. why not give the guy with 87 abs (1/3) and the .354 a shot? Like seriously? this is common sense 101.
Diaz - OF - 58 AB - 310/403/431
Oglethorpe - OF - 221 - 240/298/430
once again, small sample size but the guy is a monster thus far. Oglethorpe has shown dick and 403/1000 >> 298/1000.
I dont care what you do with your team, just dont insult my intelligence then make those snarky comments about how i know so much. I know how to adjust apparently you dont.
As for your stupid hypothetical, I dont care cause you never showed me ABs. It could be 10 abs to 300 cause youre so dramatic like that.
1) Diaz has no speed at all and is a 1B, not an OF. If you think he should start in the OF (or over Oglethorpe) then you're absolutely insane
2) Kendall is a highly rated player who is slumping and I need to see if he can turn it around before I give him a big money deal. Is that ok with you, or should I be looking for more from my #7/#8 hitter? You think I should give "a shot" to a guy who has been on my roster multiple seasons and is 33, and bench the 26 year old who is one of my more popular players. Right.
3) Diaz can play 1B and DH. He replaces either Gomez or Paco (lmao). You choose.
Btw.....

I'm so glad you think that way. Because hitter #1 is Diaz. Hitter #2 is Gomez
. Hitter #1 has 66 ABs this year.
