It's my opinion that he was rushed through the minors. It wasn't just about the decision to promote him this year. It was about pushing him so quickly through AA first. That said, I think it was easily justifiable to handle it like the O's did. I'm not mad about it at all. I just think Holliday never got the benefit of being at a level long enough to work on the nuances of his game, certainly not at 2b, but also to see how others pitched to him after seeing him before. -

When you say that, are you talking about people in general or athletes? I don’t think you can compare baseball players to other jobs. It’s all mental. If they aren’t mentally strong, they stent making it. -
I wouldn't really call those specific players rushed. I just disagree with you that it's something that never happens or basically can't happen. I also disagree that if someone struggles mentally with something, and that changes their trajectory a bit, it means they were always destined to struggle with that thing because of lower mental toughness. I don't think that's very realistic to how people work and how careers evolve. -

At SS, I agree. I wonder if he had been primarily played at 2B or CF if you would feel the same way. Guess we'll never know. -
I wasn’t referring to him overall as a player. I meant that is the type of play that might happen with a -10 defense guy.
