The Tyler Chatwood lesson nobody wants to learn

The internet is a mish-mash of ideas. Many of them are wrong. Some push the problem in the wrong direction. Many show a lack of grasp of the problem at hand. As the topic of the day is Tyler Chatwood and his struggles, the same comedy and frustration apply. My favorite was to trade Chatwood to a last-place team, and make them send him to Double-A. (As if pistol-whipping a league executive into a trade makes violating the MLBPA agreements on service time more acceptable.) A lesson should be being learned from the Chatwod signing. By and large, that lesson is still lost on most people.
