Update... it was the right move. I entered game 142 6 games back in the division. After starting 1-4, the team got red hot and went 14-2 down the stretch, including a sweep of the division leader in the final 3 games to take the division!
McCovey rained hellfire on the division, going .412/.500/.927 with 10 HR in 19 games
I also had dumped an underperforming Dave Martinez for Matt Lawton, who went .347/.446/.600 and has earned permanent draft consideration on all my teams going forward.
