There will still be plenty of season left for Vlad Guerrero Jr. whenever he arrives Globe_Sports
. Doubtless, he is one heck of a hitter. A generational talent. But he is also defensively weak and a bit chunkier than a professional, teenage athlete ought to be.
Even were that not the case, there is no good performance or entertainment argument for bringing Guerrero up immediately. What we’re talking about here is an absence of a month or so. He’s not going to get worse in the minors. People won’t lose interest. There will still be plenty of season left for Guerrero whenever he arrives.From Guerrero’s perspective, he’s already rich and will only get much richer.
Because, based on the law of big-league averages, by the time the Guerrero situation becomes a panic in five-or-so years time, Atkins will be working somewhere else. Somewhere this won’t be his problem.The hard thing is to think about the organization’s long-term goals and take a few media bullets for your trouble. That’s what Atkins has chosen.
