When you demote a guy after 8 games one season and try to make him a LFer, then 17 ? games in another season, that is not a fair chance.
When a player stays on a roster an entire season and gets almost no playing time, that is not a fair chance.
When you say Swihart will focus solely on catching a certain year, then shortly thereafter have him taking reps at different positions, that is not a fair chance.
