What happened: MLB Network's studio desk weighed how a club constructs its batting order around a specialized skill set for the same Chandler Simpson who tracked down an outfield catch on Monday.

Why it matters: Slotting an October speed threat into the lineup dictates whether he sets the table in the opening frame or turns the batting order over in late-inning postseason spots.

What to watch: Starting lineups for Game 5 of the World Series will confirm where Simpson bats next.
