Jung is going to be a Top 100 guy over the offseason and is performing well at AA...
If he has a strong spring do you throw him on the Opening Day Roster and see if you can't catch lightning in a bottle and get a draft pick?
I'm trying to figure out how probability and on-field production are mutually exclusive, when teams have 10-100 person analytics departments whose primary goal is to quantify the probability of on-field production.
Lakeland is going to have to make six roster moves to accommodate. West Michigan is currently one down, so somebody could get promoted. Otherwise, we could see some cuts or players shipped back to the complex.
Next Tuesday. Complex season ends on Saturday, so expect a lot of promotions of players they want to get more PT. I bet we see McGonigle, Turney, Callahan, Campbell, Briceno too.
Nope. It is 20 days total, and he will eclipse that tomorrow. He will be OOO next year, unless there is some mysterious fourth option that Short and Nevin were able to use this year.
... or he can catch on somewhere that has a lefty starting catcher and be a decent platoon partner who can get by in the outfield in a pinch once he figures some things out with his swing.
They get him for the minimum the rest of this year, but would have to go through arbitration next year for a price tag of about 4-5 mil (because you can't decrease salaries too far in arb). I'd bet he's non-tendered.
I am on board with trading Skubal, by the way. Flexor injuries tend to be Tommy John precursors. Of course the people you are trading him to know this as well, so not sure you can extract max value.
