No one cares, you egomaniac. Fucking get over yourself, you've now taken to needling people when they don't take your bait, you actively make the board worse every time you post.

That suuuuuuucks

Oh yeah, forgot about that, still not going to matter at all in the long term.

It'll have no impact on his service time, he'll only accrue like 9 days of service, considering he's still going to be a starter long term the Sox will hold him down plenty to get the extra year of control, all it will require is a few weeks. The only thing it does is force them to start using his options next year so he'll run out sooner than if they hadn't called him up this year.

This is the relevant section from MLB.com: http://m.mlb.com/glossary/transactions/postseason-roster-rules-eligibility#:~:text=Players must be on a,is eligible for the postseason. The answer, I believe, is yes because he was with the organization on 8/31 and on the 60 man.

Yes but it looks like he could still be added in place of an injury since he was with the organization on August 31st.

It really is a September call up sort of move since we're in solid control of the central, can't hurt to get him big league innings in a pennant race.

I'm 100% in favor of this move though if they were willing to call him up I wish they could have done it earlier in the month, give him a long look prior to the playoffs, he's exactly the type of reliever that could dominate a playoff series.

Mike Leake in 2009 would be my assumption

Feels good, man.

Honestly, I think Ricky just wanted to get all 9 projected starters in the lineup at the same time, rest and match ups be damned.

fixed that for you, the players are doing this and the players alone

What an extraordinarily uplifting day.
