Joseph has 114 AB now with no RBI. Did I see it posted here previously that the AL record or ML record was 118 to start a season?

I don't know if this information is complete (I did confirm the 112 for Milbourne from the game logs and box score on the game he had his breakthrough SF). But it looks like Caleb may now own the AL record:

Larry Milbourne had 0 in his first 112 ABs for the Yankees and Twins in 1982, but then had a RBI for the Twins and 25 more with the Indians in 1982.

Gene Good with the Boston Bean Eaters in 1906 has the record with 119 At Bats.

Caleb is sitting on 114 At Bats.

Bobby Messenger of the Chicago White Sox in 1909 had 112 at Bats without an RBI

So what you are saying is Caleb has had the worst start of any player in the last 110 years? Boston Bean Eaters?

Yes, he is having a poor start as far as RBI BUT he does have 22 hits.

Caleb (121) is still third in Plate Appearances with-out an RBI behind Good (135) and Messenger (130).

    • Smith and Bowman signed Milb contacts, stop period. which means if they not have 6 years MLB service they make minor league money if they are in the minors. Albert signed a one guarenteed contract, 740k. Itwas A Milb contract to keep him off the 40. Even if he got DFA or never pitched one inning of MLB he still makes the 740k. He was good enough to demand this contract and get it. Smith and Bowman were not.
    • Just because you sign as a free agent doesn’t mean you aren’t subject to the rules around 6 years of service time. For instance, I don’t believe Burch Smith or Matt Bowman can elect free agency unless they are outrighted, released, or non-tendered. However, there are examples of foreign professionals being eligible to elect free agency early - for example Shintaro Fujinama last year.  It’s not part of the CBA, but presumably the commissioner will approve that special covenant as part of an FA deal if the player has at least 6 years of experience in foreign league.  It’s possible they would let Suarez combine his 1 year MLB service time (prior to this season) with his 3 years in NPB and 2 years in KBO.  And it’s possible they let Suarez write these terms into an MILB contract that had split MLB terms.  It wouldn’t have been my starting assumption, but it seems plausible.
    • Here I am checking in. We and our condo on the east side of Asheville made it through unscathed. On Tuesday we flew into DC and moved into a hotel in Falls Church. Our son, Eric, ordered us to make that trip and made all the arrangements because we had no internet and limited cell service. We expected to stay a week while electricity is restored and then we learned about the dire water situation. We are moving in with Eric and his family who have been supporting us in every way possible, anticipating needs and things that would help us. Our daughter, Robyn, and her husband, Ken live about 30 miles west of Asheville , Waynesville, had no damage, never lost power or water. Today they rescued my car from $30 a day hourly parking, threw out everything that was beginning to make the condo stink and tied up  a few ends we left loose when we left Dodge in a hurry. They are, collectively, the loving, supportive family everyone should want and have .
    • You should really try to read. It will make you less slow.
    • Just pointing out that not everyone wanted Adley extended last year. 
    • Hopefully he will spend money to keep guys long term.    This was a puff piece. 
    • At least Joe Jackson seemed to be a decent human.
