It may sound strange, but Shelton seems to play a player just before he sends them down,,

Saints have 4 catchers. Not sure if they are decent. I actually like Jackson...66AB, 303 Avg., 742 OPS....maybe Roden or Martin

Buxton has been the Twins centerpiece for advertising the Field of Dreams game. My guess is that he will play on Thursday. Will that mean sending down "Where's Waldo Jackson" or Roden?

Hard to believe that they have not yanked this guy

Wow,,,survived the trap from yesterday

Roden,,,surprised me...i was thinking DP

like it...keep it going

keep it rollin

Dude...love the movie quotes..."That's just like your opinion, man"...."This aggression will not stand".......yeah man

MLB Website is not AI ....I also posted 2 websites so,,,you have your thoughts...I have mine..... .regardless...

Baseball Card memories of the Twins

You probably cannot read or comprehend all of it....which you did not do. I also posted another non-AI website. My point,,,there are implications. You probably need to get with the program a bit. AI is the future...like it or not. Have a good evening. We are both Twins fans...and we want them to win.....I think we both agree on that point. GO TWINS! No reason for me to go on any longer..take care God Bless

Downside of Calling Up a Super Two Prospect in August Calling up a Super Two player in August can be a smart move for a team’s payroll and development, but it also carries significant downside if not managed carefully. 1. Service time suppression risk Under MLB’s service time rules, a player must be on the active roster or injured list for 172 days to earn a full year of service. If a prospect is called up in August, they may not accrue enough service to reach the top 22% of the two-to-three-year service group before the next season’s arbitration cutoff. This can push them into a “suppression” zone, where they lose the extra arbitration year and instead get only three arbitration cycles instead of four. That’s a multi‑million‑dollar loss in potential salary over their career. 2. Timing the call-up The first two weeks of the season are critical — a player called up then can earn a full year of service by season’s end.. An August call-up risks them not meeting the 172‑day threshold, especially if they’re injured or limited in playing time. Even a few days off the roster can erase the extra arbitration year. 3. Development vs. performance trade-off Super Two players are often top‑tier prospects, but they may not be ready for full‑time MLB work. An August debut can force them into near‑everyday play before they’re fully prepared, increasing injury risk and reducing their value as a developmental tool. . If they underperform or get hurt, the team loses both the immediate offensive boost and the long‑term arbitration upside. 4. Contract and extension implications If a player is on a pre‑arbitration contract, an early call-up can trigger arbitration eligibility a year early, which may not align with the team’s extension strategy. Teams often prefer to wait until the player is ready to maximize their arbitration value 5. Opportunity cost By calling up a Super Two prospect in August, the team may be sacrificing other roster moves — such as adding a veteran to fill a spot or making a trade — that could be more beneficial in the short term. Bottom line: The upside of calling up a Super Two in August is an earlier arbitration year and potential salary jump. The downside is the risk of service time suppression, which can cost millions, plus the development and injury risks of an early debut. Teams weigh these factors carefully, often avoiding August promotions for Super Two candidates unless they’re confident the player will meet the service time threshold and be ready for the majors
