Most of what you are talking about falls on the GM. It's not as cut and dried as this guy sucks, this guy looks better- even though that's what is should be about. There are salary implications on both the veteran and the minor league player because once you call up the minor league guy his clock starts. And the minor league guy is someone that has zero or very little MLB experience so, the odds are you aren't going to get all that much more production than a guy that you are already paying a couple of million dollars to at the MLB level is risky at best. Plus, you have to consider whether a guy is on the 40 man roster or not and then you have to make corresponding moves, which may mean releasing a guy that your team may not want to put out there.
