Actually in short samples, the very next event or 2 or 3, will likely be what the short sample indicates, for good or bad, and not what their career says.
This is actually why you bench good players 1, 2 or 3 days when you are in a bad stretch like JD.
OTOH, we are entering into September and decisions will be drastic and out of the book mostly when you are in-between of a dogfight.
For instance Cora sat JD which was the right thing to do.
