Such a good point. I could never figure out why Bruce Bochy left Sean
out there so long when he was struggling as a young player. Especially
when Bochy always favored veteran players (why he's such a good fit in
San Francisco) over younger players. I wonder if the way he was
handled here, has anything to do with him not catching on with any
other team? Didnt even stick with the lowly Devil Rays.
