Baseball's Young Stars Should Just Shut Up

More often than not, MLB teams do what they are required to: pay the minimum to their young stars, knowing that it won't be long before hefty arbitration mandated raises and looming free agency effectively negate any potential bargains. That's life: the guy ten years older than you, with the bigger office down on the corner probably gets to play golf during the week more often than you do. Your time will come and so it will for the likes of Prince Fielder, Jonathan Papelbon, Cole Hamels and Nick Markakis.
