1919.

No. Also Matt Davidson was a bad position baseball player who would be exposed as a bad pitcher with regular pitching appearances. Don't fall for SSS and the false equivalency of 3 surprise appearances with 30-40 outings of work where teams scouted and prepared for Davidson. Finally Matt Davidson has nothing to do with Palka or Jones. They don't play the same positions or the same job. If Davidson was on the roster, it would be Rondon who wasn't. If this post were Matt Davidson it would have gone 0-4 with 4k's and an error.

No. You should switch teams now to save yourself the inevitable pain and suffering.

That AA OF is beastly. Also really excited about the rookie ball guys.

Yep. It means we didn't go for quality or quantity despite having 2 years to focus only on this class.

Now I know you aren't legit.

He would come out of the next July 2 class. We can't spend more than 300k on any one player in the current group.

I can't ever recall seeing an evaluation that said something like if only he had put up those numbers at 22 instead of 23. Again, there is absolutely nothing permanent about this assignment. There is zero reason why Walker can't move up relatively quickly. It wouldn't shock me if he finished at AA this season if he hits, as those guys in front of him move to Charlotte and Chicago. Then all of this handwringing over a half of a year is meaningless.

Starting off at Kannapolis isn't a death sentence. This isn't permanent. If he hits, he will get pushed.

He isn't going to lose a dime of value based on this. If he hits, he moves up. It really is that easy. If he doesn't, it was going to be worse at a higher level.

Wait, you are upset because the WNBA team is getting coverage? The outrage machine has officially jumped the shark. Find a new hobby man.

This is a large over-reaction. No one is suppressing his value. If he responds out of the gate, he will move up quickly. He isn't banished to Kannapolis.

With six guys ahead of him, you can afford to take your time and make sure he is ready for each level. Big numbers are always going to impress more anyways.

You do realize that we are starting the 3rd season of a rebuild and a good portion of the starting lineup is still placeholders, right? This team isn't meant to win anything, why are you acting like this should be a playoff team? I thought all of this was obvious but maybe not. This roster is still a ways away from being a playoff level roster and when that happens guys like Yolmer play up. Hopefully this helps your perspective.

This is wrong.

Now locked for posterities sake.

Now locked for posterities sake.

Go away then. Why are you even here?

And just because you pay him a lot doesn't mean he is going to suck. Not sure why you want to ruin the opening day thread, but please don't.

Pretty sure for MLB it is tickets sold, and not given away.

This is a great post.
