They’ll both be up 9 months from now. Nine months is nothing. Kopech will be a couple weeks from 23. Jimenez will be 22. Finish the season out in Charlotte, play the roster game at the start of another playoff-less 2019 season, and let them be true rookies around April 15th to get the extra year. To me, it’s common sense.
I’m in the “keep Eloy and Kopech in Charlotte” camp. If the CBA changes, it very well could be free agency after 5 years...which would make it even worse. Of course, there might not be a 2022 season, so there’s that.
He walked off on his own. Doesn’t look too serious.
and now I’m watching him walk into the dugout, and he needed a little help with the steps. We’ll see.
The Taylor Trammell triple that he thought was a homer was really funny, and his reaction and interview after made me a fan. Hope he’s a good big leaguer.
