Trevor Richards won’t be in the starting rotation at the end of next season.

Richards is classic #5 SP but ya Miami has some decisions to make soon

- - - - - - - - - -

he definitely seems like the most likely guy out of the current mix outside of Elieser. Plus his changeup could be pretty deadly out of the bullpen facing guys only 1 time through the order

Miami projects and knows Elieser is likely a LR/6th SP-he probably makes the team out of ST but they wanted him to stretch out.

Question for Lou- we talked all year last year about how they fucked up keeping brinson up instead of getting the extra year of service time by keeping him down for a month to start last season. Have they now, albeit through their own mismanagement and his terrible major league performance, corrected that mistake and now have that extra year of service time with him that they would have had if he had been kept down to start last year?

I also just did the Brinson service time math:

League Calendar is two days - March 20 and 21 (Japan Games)
185 straight days March 28-Sep 29
=187 days

172 days is 1 year of service time

Brinson has 1.025 to open the year

He was up March 20/21 and March 28-April 30 = 35 service days
=1.060

Historical Super 2 cut offs

* 2009-10: 2 years, 139 days
* 2010-11: 2 years, 122 days
* 2011-12: 2 years, 146 days
* 2012-13: 2 years, 140 days
* 2013-14: 2 years, 122 days
* 2014-15: 2 years, 133 days
* 2015-16: 2 years, 130 days
* 2016-17: 2 years, 131 days
* 2017-18: 2 years, 123 days
* 2018-19: 2 years, 134 days

Brinson getting 61 more service days until Sep 29 (which is lower than any deadline last 10 years) is July 30th. Call him up then, he is minimum for 2020 and 2021.

They can maybe stretch this another week or two as we can all see 4 of the last 5 years it's been 130+ days, so somewhere in the low July 20s makes sense.

Brinson's doing well in AAA, so might as well pump up his confidence and take the financial benefit. It's basically 1 more month in AAA and save millions if he makes it as a player.

Thought I could help out.

TB have called and had talks on Romo and Castro. They had also called on Urena before injury

Romo,Nick Anderson and Brice have all gotten calls but Romo and Conley likely only RP to go.

[Namaste]

Liking my lips just thinking about the hugh haul we are going to get for Romo and Conley.

What’s amazing is that Conley’s xFIP is substantially lower than Romo’s.

Twins have called as well on our RP(Romo,Conley,Kinley) and vets(Grandy/Walker)

Market is out there just wont bring anything of value-we need to just shoot for IFA $ and low level lotto tickets

Fangraphs had a pretty excellent update today. Player options and service time are now in the player headers.

For instance - https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.asp...933&position=P

Elisier has 1.000 service time and 3 options remaining.

The annual horror of figuring this out is over.

I know TJ is excited.

Well until service days are calculated in real time maybe not, but I'm taking this as a win

[Namaste]

Amazing that the Nationals are a sub .500 team. They have soooooooo many great players.

Probably time for a pitching change, Don. Sandy has gone from great to smelly ass in the last 5 minutes.

Imagine thinking Hechavarria is as good as Rojas

Very excited just have to make sure the info is right. Elieser actually has 2 now as they don't update it until AFTER the season

Even more excited about this where they break it down by team

Sure would be nice to trade Rojas while his WAR is 2.4.

Not a bad time to strike a trade with Yankees to net Frazier or Andujar. Caleb Smith maybe?
