I don’t think it’s that people are writing rookies off, but rather those rookies have not proven anything, and yet we are putting all our chips in that basket instead of bringing in competition for them.
And like you said, there is hope….But I would think that if there is a player you aren’t sure of (and only have hope) that they would bring in competition, to either push him, or see who rises to the top…I think this was a mistake on Beane’s part- putting all your chips into the Coleman bucket…Because now, all we can do is HOPE that he is ready for a championship run….👍
