[Giants]

Also noticed that Joey Bart is hitting .297/.416/.405/.821.

Would you start him over Bailey?  

I wouldn’t.

Of course not. Not even close. I would, however, start him over Huff. Don't forget, Bailey breaks down easily and quickly with hard use. And I would maybe start him over Flores at DH and at PH. He would have the best on-base percentage, the second-best batting average and the third best OPS on the team. I think we could find a spot for him.

I doubt Bart would be hitting as well if he was a #2.  I think he needs to play regularly to be effective.  And I definitely would not put him in the lineup in place of Flores.  Wilmer has been a key to SF’s early success.  

As I wrote at the time of his trade, it was the best thing for both the Giants and Bart to give him a fresh start somewhere else.  He never would have achieved his goals had he stayed in San Francisco.
