I agree with this, i mean, over the season I want my best hitters to get the most ABs
But then, near the end of the game, you are replacing your pitcher anyway, so the pinch hitter is probably better than your normal 8th place hitter.
I don't know, if it was really that good, then I think more teams would do it.
