If they're serious about winning next year, he should be up the first damn game. They make too much money to worry about an extra $15MM 3 years from now. No. That is foolish. The difference between him and Coghlan/Valbuena or someone like that for like 3 weeks worth of games is negligible (hell, very easily could be a net gain). No, it's a stupid [expletive] game they are playing because they operate like bunch of [expletive] penniless rubes. Scott Boars will be like 100 when it comes time for Bryant to negotiate his big contract. If you want to win more games next year you bring him up this year to start the major league development process. You do realize it has very little to do with money and nearly 100% to do with having the player for an extra year right? I mean, based on the bolded, it's obvious you don't, but I just thought I'd ask. No trip to KC sucks because I can always manage to get out there for a "work trip" when they go.
