May 13, 20169 yr QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 13, 2016 -> 02:52 PM) So now the Sox have 3 lefty relievers? Yes, though my guess is that the Sox avoid Jennings tonight. He threw 60 pitches in two outings over three days.
May 13, 20169 yr He was rumored to be a top 3 pick in the draft but fell due to bonus demands I believe.

Am could totally be wrong on that but I know the MLB union negotiated a really great deal when it comes to that.

May 14, 20169 yr QUOTE (oldsox @ May 14, 2016 -> 07:19 AM) I thought it took 4 years to vest in the pension plan. Wrong? That's what I found, but didn't look too deeply. Maybe there are different pension amounts, and 43 days is for the minimum and 4 years is the equivalent of working for 25-30 years in a regular job and qualifying for a "full" pension...like the idea where each year adds 2%, etc. I remember this topic came up constantly with Scott Carroll and everyone rooting to spend enough time on the roster a couple of years ago. http://business.illinois.edu/d-sinow/fin43...20-%20Final.ppt This doc probably has the answer.
