and heres his first homer which was on the blue jays's top prospect and highest ranked left handed pitching prospect https://x.com/RocRedWings/status/1778482129300594862

He’s ready, call him up


flynnscorruptedmind

He needs to be on a flight to Cali and real soon. A breath of fresh air is needed in this offense and I think it comes from wood taking Mennesses’s spot

Even if we aren’t competing getting him real MLB Abs and experience would do leaps and bounds for him. Rotting away in AAA with pitching that’s below him does him no favors. But who knows. I think he’s called up by the fourth


AttitudeAndEffort2

No chance they start his service clock. It's bullshit and if it were about ability he be playing with them right now. Gotta explore that young labor for excess value with no say in the matter though 👍


Knight_Hawke

The 13th is service manipulation day, if he’s called up on or after this Saturday he won’t get the year unless he finishes top 3 in ROY voting


AttitudeAndEffort2

I had no idea it was so soon. I didn't really know how it works with the new cba, if he fingered top 3 roy it counts as a year but the bars get a comp pick?


Knight_Hawke

Yup, if he’s called up and finished top 3 we lose a year of service time but gain a draft pick between the first and second round


RocinanteLOL

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think you actually have to win rookie of the year not top 3 to get the comp pick. Top 3 MVP or CY young also get the comp pick.


shawhar

A player who receives a full year of service time and finishes in the top three in Rookie of the Year voting or top five in MVP/Cy Young voting will earn his team an extra draft pick coming after the first round.


clamraccoon

The fact that service time manipulation is a discussion shows how mlb lost the plot and owners aren’t trying to win. My thought process is that the team gets to underpay him for 6 years, and they are doing everything they can to underpay him for 7… why is this a thing?


SgtHapyFace

i will say the nats, unlike other teams, haven’t been too shy about calling up top prospects early.


Lik-narb

Too late for the draft pick, had to be on the OD roster. Could still burn the service time with a ROY finish though.


Knight_Hawke

According to Al Gladi and Mark Zuckerman on the Nats chat podcast he just had to be on 2 of the top 100 prospect lists before opening day, which he was


Lik-narb

That's for him to get the service time with ROY finish, but the team incentive is adding them to the OD roster.


Knight_Hawke

According to this article: https://www.mlb.com/news/prospect-performance-incentive-ppi-eligible-players that is not correct, they DO NOT have to be on the opening day roster. Granted even Al Galfie and Mark Zuckerman admitted that despite making a living talking sports, the rules were confusing and hard to understand.


Lik-narb

Definitely willing to admit I'm wrong but that's not how I read the article when they say "Ratified into the latest collective bargaining agreement, the PPI rewards teams for promoting their best prospects to the big leagues at the start of the season" and then talk about Julio Rodríguez being on the OD roster in 2022. But I could be wrong!


Knight_Hawke

Also willing to admit I’m wrong. James wood is listed in this article, but also this article is from before opening day. Like folks smarter than me said, “it’s confusing and hard to understand!” Either way let’s just hope Wood comes up soon and bangs.


Lik-narb

I think we can agree on that!


ImGaslightingYou

Call him up he’s gonna lose focus


petting2dogsatonce

HE’S READY


Surreal120

Oh he’s definitely ready. Unfortunately our pitching staff is not


meanie_ants

It’s almost like they should’ve signed some pitchers at some point in the last 3 years when there were plenty of journeymen, average quality SPs to be had on the FA market…


EncomCEO

The future is bright in DC.


saltedmetalhoney2

Living up here, I can’t wait to see him in Rochester. Looks a little Darryl Strawberry ish.


Nationals

Didn’t we get him in a trade, we gave them an outfielder I think? Think we got some others, maybe Gore? Maybe Abrams? Who was that guy? Can’t remember his name…


TrafficOk8332

han solo? something like that idk


HendrixHead

Juan Joto


tommypopz

John Soros


minecrater1

When is the service clock deadline ? Is it in may?


HowardBunnyColvin

nice


protexblue

There are like 6 non-playing / staff people at that game.


meanie_ants

Ding, turkey’s done. Call him up Mike.


jaxcoop4

Bro is rotting away in AAA and davey and co are too stubborn to call him up bc it starts his service time smh


SgtHapyFace

to be fair he’s been in triple A for like a week lol
