Does anyone use a flex player/DP combo to pair a strong hitter/slow runner with a weak hitter/fast runner? What are the upsides and downsides in game situations?
I think you should disregard the running part. A great hitter/weak fielder (could be slow in field) should be paired with a great fielder/weak hitter. If your DP gets a hit and you want the Flex to run for her, that's a substitution. SO if you do that in the first inning, then the DP takes her batting spot in the lineup in the third inning and gets a hit again, if you have the Flex run for your flex again, that's the 2nd substitution and the DP is out of the game and the Flex takes that spot in the lineup.
yes. the flex can run for the DP. only twice is my understanding. then you could use a second bench player as the DP.Can the flex run for the DP though? I thought the DP and Flex couldn’t be on offense at the same time?
But only if the DP comes out, correct? Ok, I’m getting it - so more as a sub in the DP’s spot. I misread flash’s response. For some reason I thought he meant the DP would stay in her spot and would just have the Flex run when she got on base without replacing the DP. Sorry!yes. the flex can run for the DP. only twice is my understanding. then you could use a second bench player as the DP.
