The truth hurts.
Fact is, we are all replaceable. No matter what you do for a living, no matter who you are, if there is someone higher than you in your work environment, you can ALWAYS be replaced.
In 30 years, sports will be played with nothing but AI robots, so none of this really matters.

In 30 years, sports will be played with nothing but AI robots, so none of this really matters. This is pretty much in the Bible. People get a big head because they're good at performing 'tasks'. Fact of the matter is life if pretty much Project Management 101. It's a collection of 10 or so tasks that are easily trainable. People get protective of their jobs. It's understandable. It's a cold cut throat world out there daddy. Fact of the matter is 99.9% of everything in the workplace is trainable. If you have the proper go-getter positive attitude - I can train you like a blind monkey. |

All people can be replaced...and will at some point, nobody lives forever!
But saying that to all your employees is not the kind of relationship you should develop. That kind of ‘motivation’ never worked on me.

In 30 years, sports will be played with nothing but AI robots, so none of this really matters. I think that Bill James just phrased it poorly. Point is that teams move on (or should be ready to) from any star. The Red Sox thought they couldn't replace Ted Williams, the Cards thought they never could replace Stan Musial etc etc etc. He made a good point in the Historical Baseball Abstract that the Giants made huge personnel mistakes looking to replace Willie Mays. Perfectly good outfielders like Bobby Bonds, Gary Matthews, Garry Maddox were driven out of SF because they didn't put up the numbers Mays did. Who the hell could? When it makes sense for a team to move on, move on. Albert Pujols was a shining example. I remember many Red Sox fans were irate when Pedro Martinez walked. The team knew he was worth the money but wasn't worth the years. And they were right. It hurt watching him walk after 2004 but he only had one more good year in him. And I bet Bill James had something to do with the decision.
