Reply to "SS/SP"

JCGStill working on a clever handle

Assuming you're talking as a HS parent, I wouldn't have a big issue with it. If I was a HS coach I would avoid it if I could. The SS gets so many more chances than anybody else on the field (ah, finally, a use for Stat's HS numbers) so I think you do better if the same player is there every game rather than your #1 SS spending half his time on the bump, plus he's getting all his practice time there rather than doing pens and running foulpoles with the pitchers.

Edited to say that I do agree that putting a kid at SS in the 7th after he's pitched 6 innings is not smart, and that I agree that a kid who pitched Weds may not be ready to play SS on Friday, so for that reason a coach might want to flip-flop his starters accordingly.
