In my league (currently 1876), some talented players on various teams get few or even zero plate appearances. You know, you have two guys who are excellent 2B, but have no other position rating.

With just a couple of games a week, the starters do not get tired. Do the talented players in the game with no plate appearances (or innings pitched) decline in ability?

Would it be better for them to be demoted to a level at which they would get more game experience (even if their expectations are frustrated)?

My observational and analytical skills have not been very acute on this point.
