@adbono it’s not just about participation trophies. It can also be about donations to the program, nepotism and other types of favoritism. If you are in a situation where the best 9 play, savor it because it is not always the case.

Politics affect baseball at every level. That has always been the case. Only the very best players are immune to it - and hopefully James remains one of those. But the “attitude of entitlement” being an effective strategy is relatively new. Back in the day that got you removed from the team. Now it buys playing time. That’s the world we live in.
