At some point, they're going to either be the answer or not.

if they're doing it at AAA now, bring em up, give em that 4 months to get their feet wet, esp when 09 ain't the answer (I still think .500 isn't out of the question given the relative weakness of the rest of the AL). If you wait till 2010, then that learning curve just gets pushed out is my point.

There are only so many days that young players are cheap. Point being, you try to sync those days to when you're feilding a competitive team. (nm) - musubi Jun 2, 09:13 2
- the O's can't go the "cheap" route playing in that division. - groiny Jun 2, 09:15 1
  - They *have* to because they are in that division. They aren't going to outspend the Yanks or Sox. (nm) - musubi Jun 2, 09:16
