Almost no players are fully deveolped in teh minors. They are keeping him down for the year of control. Maybe to keep him off the 40 in case next year is lost.
I mean, that's two right there.
Look, if they are trying to win, service time be damned. But they have three catchers and Gray on this roster. They clearly aren't close to going for it. Just sell, of that's the case and be honest with themselves.
I refuse to make decisions based on a possible lockout. Is every other team wrong for bringing up rookies? Do we think the twins are smarter than all of them? I don't.
This. Truly.
If you are really buyers, you attended worried about an extra year of control. If you truly want to compete, you don't call up a below replacement level player.
As a human, who cares about other people not being exploited? Free agency. Freedom to play where people want to live. You know, rights. I'm not so self centered I don't care about other people.
I responded wow to your comment we'd be better off with all new players....
