Sarcasm, meet TxBuckeye. TxBuckeye, meet sarcasm.
I was poking fun at the veiled threats by his agent when Kelenic was sent down to start the year, who claimed that Kelenic was sent down because he refused to sign a long-term deal the club offered before he even made his debut. Maybe it played a role, maybe it didn't, but Kelenic had never played above AA and the Mariners were perfectly justified in wanting him to get some AAA ABs before calling him up, regardless of how good he looked in spring training against the B squads every team seemed to run out there this spring. In some cases, the manipulation is obvious and should be called out, but with Kelenic I agreed with him getting some AAA time first.
