  How might this manager defend his decision?

Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

The manager can defend the decision by arguing that his player's comparative advantage is playing right field even though his absolute advantage is playing pitcher. In other words, the manager probably surmised correctly that the team would win more games with him playing right field than they would by having him play as a pitcher. Incidentally, if it turns out that he is also a good hitter this would be a logical thing to do. If he pitches he will not have the opportunity to bat as often than if he plays right field.
