"Ultimately, we made the decisions that we did" Klentak said. "There's two factors, probably there's more than two, but there's at least two. One, is what is the potential of the player. The long term potential of the player. And that's important in the case of (Tocci and Tirado). We like those players. But the second component, and we have to balance the two, is what is the likelihood that the player is able to stick on a big league roster all year. You can't protect everybody. So we tried to take both of those factors into consideration and make the best decision that we can."
