The game of baseball gives us everything from the smooth swings of Albert Pujols to the antics of Jose Valverde and everything in between. Unfortunately, in an age of salary caps and economic starvation issues arise that leave us blue with angst and frustration. No I'm not talking about Anna Bensons arival at the ballpark, I'm talking about the misuse of young pitching!
Nothing leaves you hurting like picking up a great young arm and finding that they are going to be strictly monitored with a demeaning pitch count. Or how about the famous saying "his performance has exceeded our expections unfortunatley I believe we will have to shut him down in September" The purity of the game is being comprimised by the games economics. Although I understand it, nothing can hurt you more than these sentences!
Not only do you not have your stud but you are denied the oportunity to see a bright new star in the making. You only get to see 2 innings of shut out ball from Neftali Feliz. Matt Latos has accumulated 3 wins in his month in the majors but will be shut down as well. This is only the tip of the iceburg though! Even Clay Buchholz, Tommy Hunter, Kris Medlen, and the like are being watched under a microscope. Unleash these beasts! The public and my fantasy team deserves these fine young prospects! Shame on you selfish owners!
