Does it make you wonder how much talent is being wasted in the minor leagues because the manager is forced to play some high priced veteran?Wade Boggs was a rookie at age 26 because Carney Lansford had the 3rd base position.How- Boggs went HOF ... Lansford not. My example illustrates the necessary contrast ... that's what I'm saying ... no disrespect to Lansford.Also, veterans become high priced by being good "once". Some sign long term (lofty) contracts and the numbers go down.</blockquote>
