Another reason to play Franklin on the big league squad is marketing, which I would think would be important to an organization in a 10 year attendance free fall and now 28th in attendance. Bringing Franklin up would allow GMZ to trumpet a success in his plan to develop prospects from within and give the marketing department a fresh face to sell to create buzz about the team. But, no, the M's plan is to hide our shiny new player in Tacoma & go with same old tired vets. Frankly, I just don't get it.
