It just sickens me how free agency has ruined the game of baseball. I can't stand baseball agents, they are mere vultures of the game, dictating when a player can or cannot play, when or when they can or can't be called up from the minors.

1.) Stick with a lineup for more than one day 2.) Match-ups are so overrated, if your a hitter you should be able to hit a left or right handed pitcher. The same goes for a bona-fide pitcher. 3.) If you don't hit, you sit. This business of let him hit his way out of a slump is down right ridiculous. How long do wait? If you are 1-25 then it's time for you to get some hitting help. 4.)
