Slump Busting - Options, Advice, Stiff Drink?
So before getting to deep into a woe is me story here a few of my standard go to options when a guy is slumping:
1 - Move position in batting order
2 - Highlight platoon to his strength
3 - Let him rest a day or two
4 - If he has options send to AAA
5 - Trade
6 - Cut
So I have the wonderfully young Dylan Carlson with the St. Louis Cardinals and to start the season here are his stats:
AB - 31
H - 3
2B / 3B / HR - 0
SO - 9
BB - 11
AVG - 0.065
OPS+ - 11
So completely understand that this is a tiny sample size but yikes, this is a very rough start of the season. Besides batting him 9th is there anything I can do or just let this ride?
I'm playing this particular league out in pitch by pitch so each game takes 15-20 minutes unless my bullpen makes it interesting (for the other team and most definitely not for me) and besides calling up Burleson from Memphis I don't have a lot of other options at the moment.
Anyway, I'm running low on whiskey so looking for ideas.
