southsider2k5 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 He has to say this even if he doesn't mean it. If he said different they would have a grievance to file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerksticks Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 So does rick appease the “if Eloy deserves to break camp then he better” crowd...or does he appease the “rick if you don’t secure the extra year of control in a down year you’re an idiot and need to be fired” crowd? tough one. Kind of a presidential decision. What would you choose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticky Stuff Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) I don’t understand Fegan reporting this. Everyone knows why he wasn’t called up this year, and everyone knows why it will be after April 15 when he’s called up next year. Hahn’s 2 cents on Jimenez now are worthless.

ChiSoxFanMike Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 This is no different than what the Cubs did with Bryant a couple years ago. In hindsight I wish they would've done the same with Kopech as they're now burning a year of control for nothing but it is what it is.

Better to get it out the way now than in 2020 or 2021 when we can win the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most cases UCL injuries are due to repetitive stress damages, not a one time movement/occurrence. So, he likely would have had needed the surgery a couple of starts into 2019.

ChiSoxFanMike Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I guess now was the best time for Kopech to have the surgery if it had to happen, my point was that I wish the Sox hadn't called him up last season because now they're burning a full year of his MLB service time in a season where he won't even pitch. But like I said, it is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like I said, it is what it is. He had to increase his innings and there was no where else he could do it in September. Expect the same with Cease this year (hopefully he's up sooner though).

wrathofhahn Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) This is just stupid if that was the plan why not just call him up last year? They better call him up after april 15 Edited November 7, 2018 by wrathofhahn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again if Hahn said anything other than Eloy would have a fair chance to win a job in spring training he would have a grievance filed against the team and he would lose.

SonofaRoache Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I think if we sign Harper or Machado, a big if, they may tell Hahn they need Eloy up day 1. These guys may want to compete for a wildcard or division this year, or simply not be a 90 loss team in order to commit. Having Eloy down two weeks may hurt our record a bit. It's easy to say these guys shouldn't have expectations for 2019 but realistically they'd still want to have at least moderate level of success.
