If only the bucket meant DFAed. God he's been awful. Hopefully he cant find whatever in Pawtucket and come back better. Lets see how Darwinzon handles this.Darwinzon called up. Brewer optioned to the 'bucket.
Wondering if you saw Brewer last night. Or last year. Or just judging on his sucky 8 weeks or so, so far.If only the bucket meant DFAed. God he's been awful. Hopefully he cant find whatever in Pawtucket and come back better. Lets see how Darwinzon handles this.
So, you're saying it depends upon what time you see him?Wondering if you saw Brewer last night. Or last year. Or just judging on his sucky 8 weeks or so, so far.
Good. Unless he somehow has much better control relieving, he isn't even close to ready. He has a 17.6% BB% so far this year in AA or a 7.3bb/9, whatever you prefer.Optioned right back down for Holt today.
You can only burn one per year, so presumably they are sure he’d be up at some point and at least he got a small taste of the clubhouse.Why did they waste an option calling him up? Seems like a terrible waste of resources.
That isn't how options work, he's on the 40 man and had been up earlier this year. This years option had already been used so he can come up and down as much as they want him to.Why did they waste an option calling him up? Seems like a terrible waste of resources.
Yes, the option is "burned" not by calling him up, but by having him in the minors while he's on the 40-man. Since he was added to the 40-man in November as a rule 5 protectee, they were committed to "burning" an option this year regardless. He's on the 40, might as well use him if the need arises. That's the whole point of having those guys on the roster.That isn't how options work, he's on the 40 man and had been up earlier this year.

Its not that he was called up that burned the option. It's that he was on the 40 and sent down before the season started. The option is used even if he spends the whole year at AAA.I know how options work. I just completely forgot he was called up earlier in the year. I thought yesterday was his first call up to the bigs. No need to lecture on how options work. Brain fog on my part.
Are you new here? Pedantic is what we do.I know how options work. I just completely forgot he was called up earlier in the year. I thought yesterday was his first call up to the bigs. No need to lecture on how options work. Brain fog on my part.
We need about 6 posts all explaining options again.Are you new here? Pedantic is what we do.
Besides, you still don't seem to have a full understanding of how options work. /pedant
