Ultimately, if Snit would just give them a game here or there, he'd be right in line with some of the others... As is, we're the only team with 5 players up at the top.

Exactly. Nobody is saying that our best players should be sitting a game every week. But a game off every 2-3 weeks (depending on the player) could keep them fresh for September/October. Last year Freeman (162), Markakis (162), Albies (158), and Inciate (156) played too many games in the regular season. I think you find a way to give those guys just a handful of strategic days off during the season and you would have been better off. Also has the benefit of keeping guys like Camargo, Culberson, Joyce, etc in a rhythm to get a start every few days.

Hell... more than just a rhythm... keeping them feeling like they're a huge part of the team... rather than just "there in case"...

Not sure wtf Snit is thinking honestly. Those who fail to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it... or something like that.
