I agree. And Dunning will be 26 in December. I wouldn't be that concerned about his service time starting. Get some innings in relief and then stretch out next spring and start the year in the minors.

Pittsburgh and Baltimore are also possibilities apparently. I guess some MLB team should play there. There's only 7 days where there would be an issue with the Pirates.

Collins will probably get a shot for a couple months until Vaughn (hopefully destroying minor league pitching) comes up in 2021.

No DH for away team?

Without looking, I'm pretty sure this is correct.

Agreed. Plus, with no minor league season, you don't really have the gifted reason of "needs more time in the minors." What are you going to say when you call him up a week into a 60-game season, we needed to see him field more groundballs and live bp?

Taxi squad roster doesn't mean he would 100% play at the MLB level. What kind of action would he get this year that would improve his value as a trade chip?

No shortage of minor league umps that can be used if needed.

I don't think it was question of "what does a clusterfuck mean" but "what is a clusterfuck" in response to someone stating "This is a clusteruck" as in specify what the clusterfuck is.

He'll start next year in the minors for sure.

I was going to say, no team is going to offer 2 top 100 prospects right now for him.

What should he do when they dick him around and deny him the full year of service next year?

In all seriousness though, if Moncada has to miss some games due to his experience with COVID (possibly more than just speculation on our parts), who will play 3B? Leury or Mendick? Some combo? Cuthbert? Might as well let Yermin start there for the first 5-6 innings and then defensive sub rest of game.

Wasn't he optioned before spring training paused?

I was going to say, how long until she "kills herself?"

Hiking up rocks seems perfectly fine. Unless of course hes scaling up the side of a cliff.

Oh good.

When a player is out for the season, I don't really expect him near the team to be honest.

Kind of feel like that implies that he has COVID.

I don't expect Andrew Vaughn to see any MLB time this year either personally.

Yes but my point is you can't really play the service time game and say he needs to improve in the minors. If you're going to call him up after whatever date it is you need for him to stay down (what, 6-7 games?) , you might as well start him in the majors on opening day.

If Madrigal is not on opening day roster then I wouldn't even plan on calling him up this year. They don't really have the excuse of "he needs more time in the minors" this season. Plus it's not like he really hit well in Spring Training.

Vaughn may be part of a 60-man squad but I highly doubt they will use him this year.

Agreed. A lot of posters here at the time were unimpressed with his spring training.

Thought the same.
