Have you ever thought it might not be that cut and dry? What if he IS doing that and still can't field worth a shit? Do you think he doesn't understand the financial implications of becoming a big leaguer? Is it possible that he simply can't learn to field? Is it possible that idea could enter your head? Learning is not something that can simply be defined universally. It's certainly possible it is something he can not learn. It also possible it is something he can't do well, and that is simply it. Do you not have things you really wish you could do well that you simply can't master? Think about it a little bit.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I'm just wondering out loud. There are very few things in actual life that are as "cut and dried" as the Jake Fox situation, though. It's not complex. Indeed, it's as black and white as you can get.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
