Maybe the wrong word. But trusting in the unproven commodity as opposed to the proven.
At some point you have to trust or have faith in rookies. Last year several posters were calling for Jays to sign a FA two bagger, BB in particular. Everth Cabrera for example, he of the .250 OBP in 2015. Cuz Travis raw, unproven, etc.
Who has the best chance to be this year's Travis? Pompey.
Give the man a real chance.
