Had a whole post deleted, somehow.
Coaches, front office and owners, 53-man, IR, and IIRC PS all get rings. For Sepulveda: what if the same thing had happened to a vet like, say, Ben, or Hines, or Troy? You couldn't say, No, sorry.
It comes down to good-faith commitments from the players. They're part of the whole, even if it's a guy like Dallas Baker who works his butt off in camp, maybe gets close to making the cut, gets called up, falls short, but still gave his effort in good faith.
Now, I wonder if they have some discretionary rings to give out... like, a guy who might have been cut during the regular season, from the PS or regular... Does Ernster get one? That may be up to the team, as they may be allotted so many from the league.
As for a guy like Nance, two things: this may be the high-point of his career right here. So it's a nice bone to throw. Second, maybe it inspires him to work harder and be part of a winning team as an actual contributor: See what happens if you work hard, like Nate, for instance?
