I disagree that Hart spent to much time in the minors. I think he came up at the right time. We had Jenkins and Lee in the outfield so it was ok to have him sit in AAA for an extra year. It could be argued that he would have been better in a corner than either of those guys, but even if he was, we will benefit more having him on our team in his last year of arbitration than we would have by bringing him up a year earlier. I think we would have been better leaving Hardy in the minors at least half of his rookie year as he was coming off a shoulder injury that cost him most of the previous year. In my mind he did half a season of rehab while collecting service time which will cost us a year of Hardy down the road. I don't know that a team like Milwaukee can afford to wait on a guy, if Melvin wants the young bats, he's going to create a roster spot for them, just like he did for Braun last year. I don't think we can afford to rush them anymore. In the past we had a cobbled together lineup. Now we have capable MLB players filling our roster. There is no reason to call up guys that aren't ready offensively and defensively unless there is an injury or the right deal comes along. I think the plan was for Koskie to play one more year with us so we could get Braun a little more polished defensively. I wish that's what would have happened.
