Hi Carson,
I’m not on twitter, so I hope this reaches you here.
I had a great discussion with a friend recently regarding what it would take for a team to sacrifice a defensive position in order to allow a player to bat twice in the lineup. e.g. would Mike Trout have provided the Angels with more than .3 additional WAR this year were he to play both Center and Left field simultaneously, but also bat in the 1st and 5th lineup slots. I realize this is, to a certain extent, a time wasting thought experiment, but I would love to hear you and Jeff discuss this on a podcast over the offseason. I very much enjoy it when the two of you focus on inane technicalities of clearly impossible situations.

There is no point in the lineup that would guarantee he wouldn’t be on base when his other turn to bat arrives.
