Show me where it's a negative having that experience, that's what I'm looking for. I don't think it can be a negative. Experience is the best teacher, often. I would question whether Edmond's experience in the playoff would benefit anyone else though. Edmonds experience playing in SoCal may benefit the Cubs greatly if they face the LAofA in the WS. That could be very important. Really? The fact that Edmonds was awful in San Diego for a month would help Edmonds out? Or playing Anaheim 9 years ago would? I have no clue how either of those things would help him in playing 4 games in Anaheim. I admit I was reaching when I explained how it could be a negative with him giving advice from his perspective when the advice would be utterly useless to others. But I don't see how that's any more of a reach than thinking Edmonds can say here's what I do against him, you should do this too being a help.
