The only thing it does is force them to start using his options next year so he'll run out sooner than if they hadn't called him up this year. Unless something awful happens, the expectation that he will need his options is probably unneeded.
September 18, 20205 yr I like it. Really not as worried about service time for pitchers as they can get hurt easily and I rather have them in the majors. Only big risk is the kopech thing happens and he loses 1.5 years of service on the DL.

Doesn't affect service time much unless he gets hurt.
September 18, 20205 yr Hey I just came to see if tonight's lineup was posted yet and WOW...I actually love this. Service Time be damned....It's GO Time now!!!
September 18, 20205 yr Also, if he can get MLB hitters out from the bullpen they can go the Chris Sale route and stretch him out next year to start. Edited September 18, 20205 yr by Jack Parkman

Which means he must of looked really good in Schaumburg to warrant this call-up. You don’t otherwise start burning options when you’ve got 40 man roster problems to begin with.
September 18, 20205 yr LOVE this. Makes me wonder though...Why didn't they call up Vaughn 3 weeks ago then also? if you are gonna go for it....GO FOR IT!
September 18, 20205 yr Also...what if this dude comes in and kills it...Kopech odd man out of rotation long term...?
September 18, 20205 yr Have been critical of Hahn in general, including worrying about 2027 having Biggie Smalls Madrigal playing video games to start the season in Schaumburg, but like the use of internal resources with the Stiever and Crotchet callups. Kudos to Hahn for recognizing the moment and preparing for possibilities, be it closing out the season and or having standbys on hand for the postseason. Props also for all of the under the radar picks and development of said pitchers such as Matt Foster.

Don't need another 1B nearly as much as they need competent LHP from the pen. Hahn said as much according to some twitter reports I read. Just too many people in front of Vaughn right now, which is a great problem.
September 18, 20205 yr 1 hour ago, Quin said: Also, assuming he debuts this year: 12 rookie debuts. On a first place in the AL team. In year one of the contention window. Damn it feels good. bring up Vaughn and make it 13
September 18, 20205 yr While I realize this is why he was drafted, it is a strange time to call him up.

Giolito Bauer DK Dunning Cease until Kopech is ready. Now Crochet could push this even more. And 2022 looks WAY different. Giolito Bauer (if he chooses to stay) Kopech DK Dunning/Crochet I see no place for Cease on this team other than a major injury. He is trade FUEL.

This is the whole reason that they probably won't sign an SP next year. They have Giolito, Keuchal, Dunning, Kopech, Cease, Stiever (you forgot him) and Crochet as you just said. Why spend their capital here? Edited September 18, 20205 yr by ptatc

Why spend their capital here? the team payroll is way too low to justify not going for 1 year deals on Bauer. with him they literally are the best team in MLB in 2021, no question. That is the beauty with him. I think this new wave though has definitely pushed the Stroman's and #3 or 4 types out completely, agreed there.
