If your theory is that Chisenhall has been better handled than Moustakas, I might agree with you.
Moustakas should have been demoted sometime in May, around the time Francoeur was cut loose. You were calling for it 3 weeks into the season, which I still think was too early to make that move. But when it got well into May and his two week surge collapsed into pathetic performance, yes, I think it would have done him some good to be demoted for a while to work through things.
But if you look at what the Indians got from their 3B spot when Chisenhall was down (from Aviles and Reynolds), it's actually worse performance than Chisenhall was giving. So it actually did not help the team to demote him LAST year.
