@PitchingFan posted:Most players are not going to ever ask to sit out, especially at the higher levels unless they are injured/hurt. There is someone waiting to take their spot and some times all it takes is a chance for the next guy to step up and the starter to not get it back. I've seen the ss on the best team get hurt and the fill-in go on a tear and the guy not get his spot back for the rest of the year.
This of course is the biggest concern, and very true.
