Minor league Star or Professional backup?

[kilroy]

Ok from a fans prospective, not the player because the money for being a backup is better than minor league generally; would you rather have one of your college players become a backup professional in sports where you would never see them or a star player in a minor league close to home so you could watch them.

I got to thinking about this because of Curtis Stinson on the IA NRG and Brad Banks from IA Barnstormers (Ya I know yuck but still local college star) VS someone like Sage Rosenfels who I would love to watch play but now is just a trade backup you never see.

I know as a backup you could see playing time (aka Senaca) but not unless you earn it.

It's nice to see these players close to home (college) but their ultimate goal is to be in the pros and if it is as a backup that's the way it is.
