FWIW, this is why you hit Infante 9th:

1st - 762
2nd - 743
3rd - 725
4th - 709
5th - 693
6th - 675
7th - 657
8th - 638
9th - 618

That's the average # of PA per batting order per season. Basically, every time you move someone down you see them about 18 fewer times a year. Imagine the improvement in your offense with Gordon having 90 more ABs and Escobar 90 fewer.
I've been in favor of switching Gordon and Escobar, and now that you've laid it out like that, it seems that the difference would be about 7 additional times on base, likely BBs. Maybe a couple singles from Esky are now Gordon HRs, which would result in a few more runs.

What do you figure the impact as?
