The money quote: "Wedge, you are supposed to be able to handle "men". But the only players around here who actually get "handled" are the kids." Ibanez gets paid $2.7M to do what he's told by his manager. Why Wedge would sacrifice the best chance to win a critical game on the altar of a veteran's feelings is beyond me, too. And BTW, the way these talented kids are hitting once they reach the major leagues indicates that Wedge is "man-handling" them, not "handling" them.
