Last thing for awhile…. I promise….
Apparently Cat and/or Abbott really wanted Monroe. Here is where the coach should have coached. What he needed to do was say something like “hey I understand you want a good catcher. We can’t afford her bat in the lineup. We will do this, that and the other thing to satisfy your needs as a pitcher, but as a team we need somebody that can hit. I think that Cervantes would be a good get.” (Ok, I added that last part.)
As intelligent adults, I bet both would have gone along with it.
Of course this never happened. Apparently it never happened because coaches at all levels consistently do a poor job of evaluating talent.
