I'm in the third and fourth games of The Finals. I have Klein who was very solid all year, hitting .120, for the entire playoffs. The semis went 6 games, so KLein's stats are over 8 playoff games. Would you drop him down in the order (not third or fourth, maybe 5th or 6th, for a Mattingly who is hitting .300 and about 575 slugging in the playoffs so far?

So, the question is would you leave Klein in a power slot since he has a superior card, or move up a guy who's currently performing better-in The Finals?

Odds and logic, over short term performance?

I would be tempted to say it's all about the card. Leave Klein where he is.

"Past performance is no guarantee of future results." I keep hoping that that statement will somehow prompt great improvement on my part, in terms of managing my teams.

Always go with the hot hand

Are we asking if normalization is happening throughout the playoffs?
