Supposedly, with greater risk, comes greater glory.

It has been said that, in order to become a winner, one must be willing to risk failure.

Jon Lester is incomplete as a ballplayer no matter how good his deliveries to the plate are. He makes his teammates strain to cover his butt.

IMO - Just as Shaq never resolved the Free Throw issue, I'll always believe such an issue can be conquered with enough effort. James Harden's lack of defense is another obvious example.


Brooks Robinson and Ozzie Smith were not good hitters when they first came up, but through their efforts, they became at least competitive against the highest level of play.

Darrell Evans was not born with speed, but became know as one of the smartest baserunners ever.

There are many more examples of those who worked hard and made themselves better.

Perhaps all the guaranteed money makes a difference after all.
