Quote:Why not just wait for the decline in performance to occur before you say we need to replace him?
As long as he is playing at a high level, we are fine at MLB and don't need to pick one.

 

That's like saying "why not wait for my tire to blow out when I'm doing 65 on the freeway instead of replacing them now since the tread is worn."

 

As a maintenance guy we have a saying, the best time to replace a part is the day before it breaks. That way you get the most out of that part that you can and you reduce the amount of time that the replacement is taking up space in your inventory. Once Poszluzny's production drops, his replacement should be on the roster and ready to fill in. Not in the college ranks awaiting the draft.
