Baldelli and his cronies are setting up some very big precedents. Sometimes. you have to believe a player and let him play. This ever so cautionary strategy assures only 1 thing for sure.................the player won't be playing. I don't understand why these guys are treated with kid gloves. Yes, I know they are being paid big bucks, but they are also (Their contracts) insured. Let's roll the dice, maybe we'll get lucky. All we know is that the chances of drifting out of contention are increased.
