What's up with the positions? Someone is drunk.

Well said. And re: feted gods - with aau teams, this special treatment can start around age 12. Certainly see this with basketball, and I assume baseball as well. AJ seems to be managing egos well - team first, all in. 

I think that’s a lot easier when you have a team of really young guys playing on minimum or small contracts and still in the process of establishing themselves as major league regulars. The one guy on the team getting really good and paid for years, Javy Baez, I think has been humbled by his last three seasons so his ego has been checked so far. I’ll actually be interested to see whether his attitude will change with his renewed success—some guys seem humble when they’re scuffling, but then when things start going well again they start really feeling themselves again. The two other vets getting big paychecks, Jack and Gleyber, are on prove-it deals so it seems unlikely they would let their egos run wild in that situation, even around a bunch of impressionable kids.

I’m guessing Brebbia will slip through and head down I-75 to try to fix whatever’s ailing him.
