Royals Should we start Dyson in game 3

penbrook · 10-23-2014, 01:13 PM

Aoki has done nothing this postseason batting wise. He is a major defensive liability especially in San Fran where RF is a bit interesting. You move Cain over to RF and have the best outfield in all of baseball. You move Infante up to the 2 spot and have Dyson hit 7th.

Dyson needs to be used as a pinch runner later in the game. That has won us multiple games this postseason. If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

Aoki is much better at the plate than Dyson
Aoki isn't a bad outfielder
Dyson isn't a great outfielder

To me, the drop-off in offense is greater than the improvement in defense.

Dyson is elite, and a credible case could be made he's the best defender in the entire game.

Dyson is fun to watch in the outfield, but best defender in the entire game?

Nope.

Nope.

Per Fangraphs he ranks as the best defensive CF in the AL

No. We shouldn't.

Just like we shouldn't have started Colon over Moose for the Wild Card game.

P.S. Penbrook, the genius and liar that he is, has said repeatedly that he never said he wanted Colon to start 3rd in the Wild Card game. He said twice that he said he wanted Colon to start at 2nd. Me, being the asshole that I am, knew that he was lying so I went and found the post:

This was in the "Guess Ned's Wild Card Lineup."

He also added several posts on this topic including even advocating Jayson Nix to start at 3rd because of his BVP against Lester.

u sure it wasn't a tweet?

Also, how can we even question ned at this point? Whatever he wants to do is golden

**DeezNutz** · 10-23-2014, 01:22 PM

Nope. If all works out as planned, he enters in the 6th to pinch run and play D.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-23-2014, 01:28 PM

Dyson is a much better player than Aoki. He should always start over him.

He's a much better defensive player. Aoki is a much better overall player on offense, even with this recent slump. His play in the 2nd half of the season is one of the biggest reasons we made the playoffs.

When he went 11-13 in the WhiteSox series - that was one of the more incredible things I have ever witnessed in baseball.
