That's been my experience over many years of watching pro sports and listening to interviews with players who are sitting waiting, they all want to play.

Perhaps. I could see that, especially with an experienced confident team like the Red Sox. I more meant management though whose decision that would really be. Would they really chance injuries and having to win another round in the playoffs to get to the real prize of the World Series? I highly doubt it. I know I wouldn't want to risk it even with the extra revenue to be gained.
