Clearly. But you won't get Hardy thrown out if he swings away, and you won't get an RBI if you bunt. But you would have a slow baserunner at third base... I'm not sure Hardy would score from second base on a lot of balls that Kendall would hit. Hardy could get doubled up in a lineout, thrown out at home on a Texas Leaguer, etc. And I'm not too concerned about Suppan's RBI totals. Odds of moving slow runner at third base > any chance of Suppan getting a hit. I'll always take the odds play with a terrible hitter at the plate.
