Reply to "When Does One See The Writing On The Wall?"

For the OP, TPM has good advice.  Besides, this is so much more complicated than people think.  I have had approximately 20 players play professionally with 5 having a cup of coffee in MLB.  The vast majority didn't have a choice to stop.  However, there were other things that happened as well.  One player felt that he was the next in line to MLB and he was 24.  Another player was promoted and it took the wind out of his sails.  I think he has regrets.  One had his wife threaten to leave him if he continued chasing the dream.  One quit because the game was no longer fun with the long bus rides, low pay, promotions that they were required to do but for little money, ...  I think he still loved the game itself.  When a MLB team gives some type of timeline, I've never seen that set in stone.
