[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 783593, member: 4572"] This is why your post is controversial: I never said there shouldn’t be a time/place where other guys should get ABs. In fact I actually encouraged it during blowouts and midweek games: The thing is, there haven’t been any of those games. Also, like I’ve said, DeLeo is the only OF that would be getting ABs outside of Gonzalez, Hall, and Reid. DeLeo is not as good of a defensive OF as Hall or Gonzalez are, but he is better than Reid out there. However, Reid has the best bat and will be in the lineup either in the OF or at DH. You also have Holland and Parada platooning at DH and C, with Jenkins competing for ABs at DH as well. With Reid and Parada penciled in the lineup at either C/DH or RF/DH respectively, that means that DeLeo is competing for ABs at DH with Holland and Jenkins on any given day, as well as Gonzalez and Hall for playing time in the outfield. Collin is the best OFer on the team, and is a proven hitter with experience regardless of his early struggles. He also brings an energy to the team that would be extremely hard to replace in the lineup. The idea of getting others playing time and ABs holds merit, but it’s not nearly as simple as just “plug and play.” Taking Colin out weakens the defense, changes the dynamic of the team, and doesn’t give a guy who’s a slow starter valuable ABs to break out of it. Like I said, some other guys should absolutely get some game action when it becomes viable, but there haven’t been any opportunities to rotate guys in thus far. But I took exception to your post when you insinuated that CDH is playing favorites with his son by giving him opportunities that others wouldn’t see. That’s insulting to CDH, the rest of the coaching staff, and the rest of the program. [/QUOTE]
