Roster management is a zero sum game. I think we came out ahead. Foster has proven to be better than Martin. Legette had a great season hitting, but she probably wouldn’t have had that here because she wouldn’t have played. Don’t think she could play a position other than 1B, so she’d have to beat out Michelle or Kylie, who had proven themselves in games. Foster doesn’t have Legette’s HR total this year but is phenomenal at getting on base, and a phenomenal outfielder. Bre Warren didn’t work out, but you win some you lose some.

I also don't believe Martin would have replicated those stats against our schedule. LeGette could have played RF. And once they saw her offense, she could have also played DP and been a step up. And that's not a knock on Kylie who is also a really good hitter. As you said the key was that LeGette didn't show her potential in her part time play. In hindsight, we would have better off with LeGette in the lineup full time. But, we didn't know.

Option In reality our lineup and defense overall got better even though she’s still a very good player. She also got to show she could be a valuable every day player elsewhere. Think Foster and Martin both made the right moves for themselves, Legette too.

They became everyday players and team leaders in HR

Consider them missionaries for the cause.
