When Assembling a 25-Man Roster, Skill Doesn’t Always Win Out

As Spring Training winds down, the baseball fan’s sense of nostalgia does not.

With each passing day, we become that much closer to the regular season. On every home run, we imagine what it would look like in a legitimate MLB ballpark and the ensuing reaction by fans that could never be found in Arizona or Florida during the month of March. The latest infield error by some guy ticketed for AA only increases our yearning for the consistently high standard only Major Leaguers seem to achieve. A young fireballer makes a hitter look silly, leading an entire fan base to fantasize about what happens if he finally puts it all together in 2017.
