Pulled a perfect peak Rickey on the eve of the playoffs. Bit of a tough call who to drop for him, outside of peak Yaz my outfielders are mostly not that good. 100 Trout and 100 Bellinger are profoundly mediocre, 99 Mays is usually bad but had the best OPS on the team this year so I'll keep him around, and 94 Heilmann I've got in a platoon with Bellinger and backing up first base but I could just stick Posey at the first base backup position.

Ultimately I think I have to drop Bellinger, he's been marginally better over his career as a batter in diamond than Mays and Trout but he's a worse fielder and I think I can afford to lose a guy with rightie-heavy splits more since Yaz is a better one of those so I can just platoon him with Heilmann who's a crap fielder but I can stick him in right against lefties and get some damn good hitting out of him.
