95/28/1972 - McCovey Benched in San Fransisco; Kingman in at First
Ok so I am going to help the AI version of Manager Charlie Fox with a decision. Even hovering around the .200 mark, Kingman has been fairly productive at the plate, with 11 homers and 29 RBI, both marks that lead the team. McCovey, on the other hand, is having no success at the plate this year
at all:
So I am going to force start Kong now at 1B, effectively benching McCovey. But it also gets Kong off the hot corner (where he has been dreadful) and gets a better glove in there. Not that Jim Ray Hart is Brooks Robinson, but he has to be better than Dave's .898.
I know McCovey is a star, but I think this move is something a real manager might make, based on the replay performance. Do you agree or diagree?
