Being a Rule V player, we can't send him down, without losing him ( unless IR'd ). Yet, he really didn't cost us anything to begin with. You're normally not going to use him as a "defensive " replacement, not with our starters, Gabe, and Cruz. This means that in most cases he's a pich runner. Consequently, you've just : taken out a better bat ( but a slow runner ) and probably another bench player to play in the field. My point being that when you use this kid, you're doing it in a pivital point in the game and sacrificing two bench players ( our bench is rather weak crrently ) and decreasing your offensive and defensive capabilities ( especially if the game continues ).
