Tigers bringing some key prospects..Will we see Os do the same soon?

[Sports Guy]

We are starting to get close to the time where you are or likely will be past super 2 status.  With guys like Mountcastle, Diaz, Zimmerman, Kremer, Akin, et al, will the Os start to get these players up?  
 

I have felt most of them should have been up from day 1 because I didn’t see a reason for them to be held back because of service time or super 2..just not the types of players I would play those games with except maybe the initial service time for a few of them.

But now, it may be time.  Detroit doing this at this time can’t be coincidental.  I would think super 2 is the driving force here.

Davis, LeBlanc, Eshelman and one of Smith, Valaika or Velazquez can all go.

I don't see how they can justify it much longer. The team currently has a hole in LF and two of the team's best prospects can play left field and they are fighting for a playoff spot somehow. Mountcastle and/or Diaz should be here. 

I think we start to see Zimmerman, Kremer, and the new guy Lopez getting starts when Milone inevitably comes crashing back to earth or Cobb is traded.

Much rather keep Velazquez over Mullins. Smith got to go, though.

Clearly you didn't see that Dillon Tate was activated.

Why bring them up for a month and a half when you can wait until next year and get a whole year of control?

Is Casey Mize related to Johnny Mize?  They look pretty similar even though they were born 84 years apart.

I didn't see that he was so he probably isn't.  Stuff like that tends to get mentioned.

Why type in green?

Anyway, I feel like if they wanted to bring up prospects they'd have done it by now.

We have gained an extra year of control this year anyway.

These arent can’t miss, superstar prospects.  They can come up and perform now and, even more importantly, the team can start to evaluate them for the long term.

But if they wait until next may they get another additional year.

If it made sense to not promote Mountcastle last September than the same logic could hold true in 2020.

But we're playing baseball now, man.

Nah.  The logic is past due on all of them.

By holding them down as long as they have this year, the extra year has been gained.

No need to keep play that game with these players.  If it were Adley or Hall, I would agree..but not these guys.  The control will be for plenty long enough and most of them don’t have much more to prove in the minors.

I don’t like Mullins either but he may be a necessity until Hays gets back.
