No, his offense was costing him exponentially more than his defensive run saves. It wasn?t even a close discussion. His defense wasn?t winning a game for us. Bring him in the 8th or 9th inning for defense makes sense. His hitting completely wiped out what positive defensive metric he was giving you into negative territory.
