I know bringing them up early and letting them get some reps in the majors is a bad idea.... Don't I? I mean, maybe this year is different. Maybe it's for real this time... Yeah, you're right. I should just let them keep developing in the minors, despite hitting nearly .400 in the spring. Yeah, those 9 scoreless innings pitched mean nothing... -Excerpt from, "The Musings of a Mad Manager"

Not enough lower level talent. 2. A log jam of mediocre AAA players. I feel like the organization is healthier when it is winning .400 to .500 in spring training.
