The 2021 Cleveland Baseball Organization

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Personal Attack on another poster is against forum rules.
Keep playing these outfield studs!! BTW, Antonetti didn't mention Nolan Jones in the outfield plans for the rest of the season, so AZ, keep telling us how stupid we are for thinking he should play here.

Very.

This organization isn't losing service time and risking super two just because you're impatient.

He'll likely get a cup of coffee with the team later this year so he gets a taste of experience before we bring him up about a month or so into next season.

Or just look at it this way: The more time he spends up this year, the longer you have to wait next year.

Why can't you stick to a linear conversation? Do you really have to lash out like this when you encounter information that opposes your reactionary takes?

The successes of outfield prospects in the past has absolutely nothing to do with MLB service time manipulation.
My point is that it might help Nolan Jones' development to not wait until he's 24 to face MLB pitching.
 
It's a fan forum, isn't complaining a part of the banter?

But we don't need a repeat complaining, it's like playing a broken record of a crappy record. I can at least deal with being Rick rolled, but not broken record rolled...
 
If we could go back to 2019, we wouldn’t have endured a horrible pandemic. Can’t go back in time.
No, not at all, can’t go back…but we can give Mercado an opportunity to see if he reclaim some of the batting form. We certainly have the time and opportunity at the moment.

It’s almost assured that the service time rules will be changed in the next CBA. What’s unclear is whether the changes will be applied retroactively.

I don't think anything will ever be retroactively to be honest. It will be from 22/23 on with the changes... Now the problem is how can you change it? The system has issues but in all honesty isn't all that badly flawed...
