I know a lot of coaches believe in the adage that you need to find a way to get your best hitters in the game. At what point does that become counterproductive if they are a liability on defense? I watched a lot of good college ball this past weekend and at times the defense was close to awful. I know it is early in the season, but this is especially apparent in the outfield where poor angles and reactions turn routine outs into doubles, triples, and runs. How much better does a hitter have to be to make it worthwhile to play them on defense if they are a liability?
