Pinch hitter syndrome

(statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2005/01/26/the_pinchhitter/)

The syndrome where you find that people whose sole job it is to edit articles aren't even very good at editing articles. Like a pinch-hitter in baseball who also have one job but isn't the best player at that.

One explanation: "Traditionally, comparative advantage is used to explain why trade is beneficial to both parties even if one party is more efficient at producing everything."
