Then he should play every day in the minors until a trade is made or an injury occurs. It will happen.

Yea I agree with this, Frobby. The move was one of pure utility because he was the best option. I imagine they told him he was only up for the series. He missed, what? One or two games with Norfolk? But got his first big league RBI. That’s good for his development. As is him being sent back down for another few weeks until there’s room for him to play every day like he currently is doing in Norfolk.

At this point I think Zimm needs to head to the bullpen. Give the kid a break.

He’s still very young. I’ll give it more time before fully casting off the lofty hopes many of us had for him just a month and a half ago. Is another Mountcastle a more likely (and still good!) outcome? Most likely, but I’m still dreaming on more. Also he has a cannon for an arm so he will be able to play the outfield.

Good post. Thanks.

Can’t win ‘em all.

Beast.

No I more just wanted a more formal forum in which to lament the fact that we don’t have Austin Martin.

It’s time.

Or every season of ‘Succession’

Thank you.

So in short, maybe he will last to 33. I’m a walking contradiction. Ignore me.

Then he certainly won’t last to 33. All pitchers are ticking time bombs. Unless the mri shows that he’s more at risk than most for a career ending/altering injury (like shoulder calcification,) I’d be more than Ok taking a flyer at 33 if he were to get there. Though with Boras as his agent, whoever takes him with have to pay handsomely. Which could also lead to him still being there at 33.

Is that what reports are indicating?

What happened to the ‘They all break’ thread?

I forgot the green font. I don’t hate the idea because he seems like a tough player, but there are certainly recent cases where a player wasn’t ready, and it gets awkward. Jarred Kelenic and Joe Adell.

You would?

Unfortunate

I always find it funny when the pitcher has to get checked for sticky stuff at the end of an inning after he gets throttled.

?

I share that thought. I’m team Termarr, and think the discount would also be substantial.

This in the Mayo 2021 thread, methinks it should be moved.

That’s how I read it.

Very nice.
