Slaughter is a CPM favorite and Coomes has been really good defensively on the whole. He dipped hitting but that's a recent phenomenon. Unless Slaughter learned how to hit a breaking ball his shortcomings on offense will speed Coomes' re-entry to the lineup.

Not if 8/9 in the line up are hitting. Slaughter may not help us score many runs, but if we are putting up 9 anyway then it may benefit us more having him at first to save them from scoring a few.

What Coach Mainieri did is not without precedent. Hanover supplanted Helenihi for most of 2009. When the postseason came and Hanover couldn't field bunts and was missing ground balls to third, he got lifted for Helenihi. He couldn't hit, but he could catch.
