I am beginning to think that this up-back-up is much more common than being called -up and staying in the MLB. Many of these young men are stars and are not used to failing. Baseball, as we all know, is to such a large part a mental game. Learning how to deal with a slump, how to shake off an error etc.-comes only with experience and time I believe.
