in today's bandwagon I went medium-long on how, increasingly, it feels like even postseason heroics are covered through the lens of baseball as a business. But if you don't care what's happening on the field NOW why do you care about the contract implications?

Hope they would make an exception and go with pinch hitter.

The lack of position was crucial to the MLB Showdown gameplay too. Harris' card couldn't be put in the "field" without penalty, making him most useful as a pinch hitter-only in the card game itself.
