Isn't the whole reason you are batting the order (instead of DP/Flex) is to get ALL the batters some experience and opportunities at the plate?
Also, GM brings up some good points that there are many ways to score from 3B without resorting to a delayed steal which is a very low%, including passed balls, wild pitches, illegal pitch, error on a batted ball, a base hit, dropped third strike, bad throw on pick-off attempt at 3rd base, etc.
Don't beat yourself up over this decision, I think your 3rd base coach called it correct and you did I good job of listening to her. Now go work on improving that batter's hitting with runners in scoring position. That is real coaching.....
