What if Greene puts up terrible stats in the spring? Expand Torkelson's walks allowed him to keep up a good OBP even when he wasn't hitting much at points last year - that should make it easier for them to let him work through slumps when they happen instead of having to send him back to AAA.

Is there enough games to stretch out our SP this spring? Maybe they should have allowed an expanded roster for the 1st 2 or 3 weeks? Quote

If they think they are close to ready, even if their stats in the spring don't show it, I think they will start them in Detroit. If they struggle for a month, they will send them down. The benefit of potentially getting extra draft picks sways things. Add to that that they may not get the extra year of control even if they wait to bring them up, I think you will see teams err on the side of pushing a bit compared to before trying to get the extra control. Expand But wouldn't it also cause them to not allow 2 rookies to make the team in the same season? Greene wins ROY this season, extra picks. Torkelson wins ROY in 2023, extra picks. Hmmmmm Quote

Hmmmmm Expand Lee noted the other day that one of Avila's traits is that he tells you what he is going to do - the other day Al said his only objective is to put the best team on the field from day one and that April wins are just as important as Sept, so he doesn't care about service time or other games. I think based on his history of doing what he says so far he's probably not lying. Edited March 18, 2022 by gehringer_2 Quote
