I don't understand the point of the story. The player in question has become a role player; either thru his inability to capitalize on his opportunities or his inability to play other positions. I bet when the coach was recruiting him he didn't plan on him not being able to separate himself from the pack either.

You've just described a player who has not been a top 4 middle infielder (at least) in this program for 3 years. You described an 18 year old sitting behind 21 year olds. He's a 22 year old now. What has he done do prove he's the guy?

I understand the frustration of sitting behind older more accomplished guys, but the idea that he is going to be handed the job because of service time is just as crazy as him mashing in limited opportunities and continuing to sit the bench for no reason.
