It's a 162 game season with a pretty deep roster. I welcome any and all rest Baldelli can give his regulars throughout the year. That has actually been a new tactic by the front office; the players get more mornings off, they're not supposed to take as much BP and not drill as often, etc. It's a long season that beats the hell out of these players. Any time you can reduce the risk of them tiring and/or getting injured in moments that don't matter to the W-L record, take it.
