Very true, but i still think they gave up on him a little too quickly considering the fact that the team was not very good when they DFA'd him. either way, it happens. Glad to see him finally staying healthy for a bit.
I pretty much agree with all your assessments here of how to handle those players. I do think a lot of folks would call a 140-game guy an "everyday player."
I also wonder if most 120-140 start guys don't do it by playing a consistent 4-5 games a week all year. They do it by playing almost every game most of the time, then having a few short breaks where they are more fully out of the lineup due to nagging injuries, illnesses, slumps. I think the way things usually play out, at any one moment most guys can be bucketed as full-timers, platoon, or bench.
All the impactful calls went against us. His misses were pretty consistent at least, it was just every borderline call both ways went against us basically. One of the most lopsided performances I have seen this year.
