In Yankee's 56, the season is still young but I am thinking about making a move. Although the team is 2nd in runs and 1st in pitching I am thinking about using Stanky at 2nd and Molitor at 3rd. Dumb move? or does it improve my team and OBP. Facing more RH pitching and I have T.Williams, Stearnes and Gehrig, with Aaron as my Lefty killer.

Your team has a plus 47 run advantage and a 4.18 ERA. Sit back and watch the fun, if they start to slip, shuffle the lineup a bit.

If anything, based upon run advantage your record should get better.

Best of luck!

That was also a nagging thought in the back of my mind. They aren't doing bad and I should just be patient. The 5% drop rate is the reason I even thought about this now.

Good team.
I think that 5% drop period is more of a problem than a benefit--it makes it too enticing to make changes, which are almost always only better to do if you have a clear and obvious need/documented weakness.
