Also tried to present a convincing argument for having Pete Rose start over Schmidt at 3B.

Was undone by Rose's OBP which was not only less than Schmidt's (given a much higher starting point BA) but was evidence of a free-swinger.

Therefore, Pete Rose is on the bench as a pinch hitter/utility man.
