Fair or foul fair or foul for talent in baseball
A New York Times style critique of the MLB talent distribution system led by Branch Rickey. It examines Jim Brideweser’s stalled career with the Yankees, the farm system’s impact, and whether one club may hoard a player’s prime years while others claim he could contribute elsewhere. It notes Senators interest and questions how long teams should retain a player in suspended animation before he reaches free agency or a fresh start.
