My current OFs are PRich, Leblanc and Hall. My current DH is Griffey. I was thinking of replacing Leblanc, but I am not sure.

You could leave him in AAA to squeeze out another point or two, without compromising your current season. Then cut LeBlanc in the off-season and get Reid as many AB's as you can in spring to get a jump on his experience points gain before the new season starts. What you have is every manager's conundrum: How to get the necessary playing time for a young player who is ready for The Show, while in the middle of a pennant race. Best of luck to you!

Even if you can't fit him in, you are only holding him back by leaving him down. I only got Poole a few ABs his first season up, and he is still developing nicely.

Edit 2: The call up in 2023 was right around this time in the season. I cut Randolph prior to 2024 with the express intent of getting Poole more ABs the next season, it is called player management and it is why I promoted the last 3 seasons...
