Yep, I think Cowser did Hyde a favor there. If not for Cowser's hot streak, I doubt we would have seen a full platoon take place until mid-summer. Obviously Hays made it a lot easier too with his awful start.
This worked out perfectly imo, I was nervous Cowser wouldn't get a true shot due to Hyde's loyalty to veterans, but now Cowser has forced the issue and should be a full time player for the foreseeable future.
