And his production didn't really decline. S13 to S14 was the power fix. League-wide OPS went down almost .050.

I also can't prove this, but I don't remember his performance being any better or worse down the stretch when he was playing at 96% as opposed to 100%

Do you know how often he was replaced late in games?

Well he started 154 games and 1128 innings, which is only about 7.3 per game. This year he has started 116 games and played 900 innings, which is about 7.7 per game. So he's missing about an inning and a half per game.

I use "rest starters" when down or up by 4 in the 7th or later. I also use defensive subs when up by 2 in the 8th or later. He's set to come out for rest and also for a defensive sub.
