I'll bite. Maybe this is one for Coach May, Coach2709 or others, but here's my theory:

Coaches move boys up prior to playoffs for one of two reasons:

* They see how that player COULD help the older team but aren't sure. They don't necessarily see the player as a gamer -- especially pitchers. They just want to fill possible holes.

OR ...

They leave players who they KNOW can help the older team on the younger team until the time is right -- then they bring them up and play them virtually full-time.

Am I smokin' crack??
