A few weeks ago, I remember when discussing the strike, somebody mentioned
the possibility of promoting farmhands in order to break the strike. This
was countered by the argument that as soon as a player is promoted, he is
considered a major leaguer, and is on strike. Although the strike is over,
a hypothetical situation comes to mind. What if a player is demoted? It
would help a minor league affiliate both in the standings and at the gate
if its parent team's stars are sent to play a couple of games. Just think
of the Columbus Clippers with Dave Winfield playing outfield.
