Most every person sleeps better in their own bed. This has been established scientifically and makes a good bit of sense. People also enjoy stories more when they are experiencing it for at least the second time. Human beings seem to thrive when they are confident their concept of the near future will closely resemble reality.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the contract extensions (check me on this) generally work out better than big, splashy FA adds as Sandy has argued.
Interesting as well, is the notion that a player's ability to cope with new surroundings and circumstances, as newly added FA must, carries such a great weight with James.
If this is a lightbulb, I kinda get keeping your draft picks and extending those who flourish. Also, if this is a thing, why haven't the M's benefitted from having a very localized AAA club?!
