I don't usually watch much of the M's pregame shows, but I caught a bit of one recently and Wak commented on this subject. He revealed his reasoning when he said that the guys who had played all season had earned the right to September playing time. Sounds like single-season entitlement has replaced career entitlement. Hopefully Jack Z has other ideas and influences Wak's decisions on this subject. When you're out of the race but you've engineered a wonderfully respectable and surprising season, you need to balance two goals. (1) Avoid frittering away all the positive vibes with a disastrous W-L record. You've got to finish .500 or above. (2) Take advantage of the opportunity to get a good look at heretofore bench players or minor leaguers that could play a key role in the upcoming season.
Here's hoping the team of Z and W do this successfully.
