      A philosophical question re offense and defense

      By oriole · Posted

      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.

      But how does it damage or delay things?  What’s the time period for that?   Let’s say by Sunday, Holliday is 3-45 and they send him down.  He was up here for what, 2 weeks at that point? Was he delayed?  Did that hurt his development? Did Cowser’s development get hurt or damaged last year?  Did GRod get damaged? Thats the thing.  To me, using words like that sound to me that they are career altering.    For me, if that occurs, the player wasn’t going to be mentally tough to handle adversity no matter what his development was..that’s a big reason why I don’t believe in “rushed”.

      If Stewart had been that guy with a bat we wouldn't have cared that much. He was a 0 bat -10 glove guy. A better example would be Nelson Cruz maybe.

      By Spy Fox · Posted

      Personally I take rushed to mean something a bit milder. I think you're using the word more absolutely than many do, and that's the disagreement.  I would call a player rushed if they were brought up before they were ready to perform, and it damaged or delayed their development. Particularly if there was reason to doubt their readiness before the callup. But it doesn't have to be something that ruins them or that they never recover from for me to be willing to call it rushing.  Now I'm not sure they rushed Holliday under either definition, since there was tons of evidence supporting the idea of bringing him up.
