He had to go up and down multiple times and now he looks like a star. It isn't always about throwing a guy out there and finding out if he's any good. Sometimes you have to put guys in a place to succeed.

you move guys up and down because they're failing in the MLB and you send them down to play every day.
Bench them means they sit. Sending them down means they play everyday and hopefully improve. All I'm really saying is: You get better by PLAYING not sitting on the bench, or sitting against lefties or whatever. You're not going to get better hitting lefties by NOT facing lefties.
That's all I'm saying. Literally my whole point. You guys are nitpicking little details to argue and missing the headline.
