May 30, 20187 yr Hahn's also talked about when a player forces the issue and that's what he's doing and he still isn't in AAA. I don't think there's any question at all he can jump right into MLB and produce . The question is how long are they going to make him wait to become a MLB player and thats just a matter of securing better draft position at the risk of upsetting him. And if he get's hurt in the meantime everyone will be upset Next April is a year away and he's already forcing the issue . Eloy is going to make a liar out of Hahn .
May 30, 20187 yr Okay, Chitown, let's make a bet. You say he's going to get moved before June 19th. I think that Hahn/Getz will wait until June 20th or 21st...what are the stakes? Greg will give the winner 5 "likes," lol? You guys are basically arguing that Jimenez needs less time in AA than Kris Bryant, one of the Top 5ish players in MLB.

I will personally bet one of Gregs houses on it. Edited May 30, 20187 yr by ptatc

Eloy is beastly like Frank Thomas was beastly except for the crazy batting eye which might make Eloy less productive than Frank but the service time issue and better draft position are definitely playing a part in holding the kid down. The longer they keep him in AA then you can say he needs a good 2 months at AAA even if he destroys AAA like he has AA, longer if he doesn't. By then its September and maybe he's not real happy about it especially when he looks around and sees guys younger than him Gleybar Torres, Acuna, Sorotka, Albies and Soto all producing in the show .

I have no idea what Hahn is thinking. Eloy is his own case, I'm not sure what Kris Bryant has anything to do with him.
