ptatc Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Reading the new agreement, I wonder if the new service time rule will backfire. Since the only oy the top few of the ROY finishers get the time, will teams keep the players down longer so he won't win the award? I don't see the draft pick compensation helping much because teams can only be in the top 10 every other year for small market teams and every third year for big market teams.

Honestly it might do the exact opposite. You’ve got the number 1 prospect in baseball, you want him on your club and don’t want to keep him at AAA for a season and a half, you don’t want to lose the year of control if he wins ROY, so you bring him up the previous July rather than September or April so that he gets enough ABs that he no longer qualifies for the ROY award the next year. That’s the only way to guarantee he won’t win that award. The players would be totally ok with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in this scenario he is already up for 1/2 a season and he begin the next season n the roster so they don't gain much more control of the player. If they wait the next July, they gain an extra year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might happen to one or two guys, but this would be very tough to justify and probably would provoke a grievance. Rare at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't he have like 20 at bats and a week or two of service with Boston, and then the Sox sent him back to AAA for half a season? Not sure that week or two really changes the point. He was still rookie eligible in 17, and didn't get enough ABs to truly garner any real ROY consideration even if he was good enough to do so (he wasn't).

pcq Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I would prefer five teams per league in playoffs where 4-5 seeds have a three game play-in. With extra DHs this year maybe they should have kept the seven inning games for now. Also wondering if they will have enough pitchers to cover those games. I know some owners are cheep but they could have used expanded rosters this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
