Hancock will have to hold down 1B.
Shitty defense has been the reason for a lot of our losses. The lineup got us with Hatcher, Leggett, Skinner in there.
I don’t think we lost a game with Leggett at 3rd. I know we won 5 in a row until the change Sunday.

Leggett?s error opened the door Sunday. And he gives us nothing at the plate

I don’t think we have lost a game with Leggett starting at 3rd. Your statement doesn’t change that. His error was in the 8th and didn’t effect the score at all.
We are 12-1 overall when he starts. Many of us said he was going to get ate up in league play hitting with a lot of K’s but that doesn’t change that our runs was higher in his 4 recent league starts. Way too Small sample size but would liked to run that same line up on Sunday to see.

Batting Legget-cumbest(or skinner ) -Forsythe is putting 3 guys w huge k rates all back to back. Legget doesn't need to start. We just have to take the bad of james w the good.

I see that line of thinking and it may end up being our best option, it’s not any easy fixes. Without a bigger sample size it’s hard to know for sure but there is compelling data that shows Leggett starting at third is giving us better margins to win more games. Again, I can see your point and James playing better defense at third is a great answer to our problem. I can’t justify it completely but I also don’t like our 8, 9 make up either with Leggett and Forsythe. Brad k rate is an issue but overall he is hitting well enough and the defense is good so I’m fine with him at 7.
