The San Francisco Giants fan base has been clamoring for Pablo Sandoval to get more playing time all season.
And why not?
The 32-year-old is hitting .292/.315/.640 with 10 doubles and seven home runs in just 92 plate appearances, and a strong case can be made that he is the best hitter on the team right now.
He was at it again on Tuesday night, delivering a clutch, pinch-hit single with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to set up Joe Panik’s walk-off single.
While the case for more playing time is clear, there is also an interesting case against penciling him into the starting lineup on a more frequent basis.
