The way I see it is you'd demote him to Iowa if you felt he needed to learn something or if he was blocking someone better. Considering Happ is already cooling off and might need to go back himself there's not a ton of organizational depth in the outfield. If you demote Schwarber you're probably playing Bryant every day in left and Javy at 3rd, but Javy largely looks good because Joe picks his spots and his matchups still. When he plays every day he tends to struggle. You're just robbing from Peter to pay Paul.

I believe that's called "managing".

Oh I wasn't complaining, just saying Javy is not quite ready to be a 600 PA regular, Joe handles Javy better than anyone on the roster. I was just saying "Demote Schwarber, put Bryant in LF, play Javy every day" probably doesn't represent much of an upgrade offensively because Every Day Javy probably doesn't hit as well as special utility player Javy.

Well, Yellon just came out in favor of a demotion. Decided he'd had enough of SKO's logic and switched to mine.

A Jewish funeral? Catered?

If you have to ask, you can't come.

You send Schwarber to Iowa and SKO's life will be turned on its head. He'll be stopped on his trips to pick up diapers and beer at the Hy-vee for people to request autographs and photographs with WORLD SERIES HERO KYLE SCHWARBER! Groupies will approach him at the Indianola Arby's as he dines with his family and they will ask him why he  didn't call, oblivious that the real Kyle Schwarber is in fact on a 9-game road trip through Omaha, Colorado Springs and Albuquerque.

Couple that with the fact that it really is a dumb idea, and it's easy to see why he's against it.

I don't think sending down Schwarber makes a whole lot of sense but they do have a guy in Mark Zagunis who is OPSing .879 in Iowa right now. He was drafted in the 3rd round the same year as Schwarber. He's not a godsend but they could, in theory, bring someone up to replace this current shitty version of Kyle
