All players deserve the right to equivalent playing time during the regular season as developmental games. Players should develop at a small number of playing positions. Batting order is written in the way most likely to generate the most runs based on statistics. All players need be developed to be capable of pitching. In highly competitive game circumstances the team will play to win.
