And it was a basket shot...certainly not a sure thing.

Agreed.

Out of the healthy current regulars on the team, he has the second highest OBP (Davidson team leader), so in a way it does.

Just to be clear I wasn't suggesting Eloy shouldn't go to AAA. Was just stating a fact that not everyone needs to go to AAA.

Nice hindsight.

The better talent is in AA. AAA is a level for depth pieces for the MLB team and other AAAA type players. AAA is usually just a final tune up and I don't think it is always necessary to have to go there depending on the player.

Ok...how do you explain the non-rebuilding years where they tried to win between 2013-2016? They literally tried the way you are describing.

Looks like he was running in towards the play at the plate. 1B would be cutoff man on the hit to the outfield and potential play at the plate. Although the ball definitely wasn't far enough to warrant a cutoff man.

Everyone you mention was drafted at one point lmao the star players have to start somewhere.

I liked the setup a few years back when it was Spiegel and Goff and then Bernstein with whoever sat in for Boers when he was out.

They already have the extra year of control. That happened in April.

No harm in letting Giolito pitch a full season in the rotation. And with Kopech and Jimenez, it might be about wanting 3 years of arbitration instead of 4 of the controllable years. Engel clearly isn't a big league player and obviously a place holder. Don't worry about him.

Really thought this was a Greg post for a sec.

Thank god.

Arrested Develpment season 5 will be on Netflix May 29th.

All Rabbit said was there would be a rotation shuffle...this appears to be it.

Fernando Tatis Jr!!!! Edit: man, beat me to it.

Why would the Mets do that?

I've had him/Eloy wasting a spot on my fantasy roster all season (only one NA slot and I was confident Kopech would be up in May) so if this is true and he's up for good, I am thrilled.

Greg, please take a hiatus from this message board for like a year.

Dude what? They're not going to wait for the team to be good again before calling him up lmao how are you not a troll?

Brandon McCarthy style

Really considering taking a half day and going to the game tomorrow. The game also has the "Bleachers and Brews" promotion. It's the perfect storm. Spend $25 and you have a ticket, 2 beers and 3 hot dogs.

LMFAO

If he had a season more of control and you could flip him in the off-season or next year, sure. But I would not be disappointed if they don't trade for him (trade is likely with enough interest).
