It is obvious that they don't but everyone has an opinion. I have to agree with anonymous these young kids had the honor of being invited to spring training because the team might think they are some of the future.Ronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7571550.post-12197906726452795142007-03-13T17:55:00.000-07:002007-03-13T17:55:00.000-07:00Wow. That is a pretty bold statement considering Laffey, Lewis, and Lofgren were not there to compete for a roster spot on the Major League team. They were invited to Major League Spring Training purely for the experience and for the exposure. They were not sent back to minor league camp because of their game performance or because they didn't meet the "expectations" of the club. But since they were not competing for a roster spot, they were the first to go. Each of the listed prospects are thought highly of by the people that MATTER, or they wouldn't have been non-roster invitees (especially at such a young age 21 and 23). It is amazing how people can turn a positive into a negative so quickly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
