Yeah, I noticed that too. And I'd be sure to use it.
. In one league one time (I mentioned this guy at least once here) when I had an injury to SS, and really had no true fill-in. I called up a guy from A-ball who really had no prospects. He was an outstanding glove who was a great sacrifice bunter. Could barely hit .200 in A-ball. My orignal intention was to use him as a twice a week or so starter splitting with my utility guy, and a late-inning def. replacement. But, the team kept winning everytime I played him. I was playing with a DH league (if I was playing in an NL style league I wouldnt have been able to do it), but I batted the guy 9th, and used him strictly as I would a pitcher (sacrifice whenever a runner was on, with less than 2 outs). In several games he didnt start, I even used him as a PH just to sacrifice.
