    Yeah, we will all be thinking this when two weeks cost us a whole year and a possible World Series title.

    Speaking of this dob is talking about this with gohara

    Do you think aa will option gohara down to get another year? He should imo. Likely needs 5 starts in the minors.

    Gohara has boras as an agent so there is no hope of keeping him beyond team control

    I would. Let him take his time coming back from the injury, let him make some starts in AAA, then also be prepared to shut him down a little early. We need to save his service time and also go easy on him after bumping up his innings so drastically last year.

    Another F service time question...what if Tucker is actually good? What if he can be a 2 WAR LF? That's aggressive but I don't think it's crazy. Would that keep Acuna down? Would AA have the balls to move Neck to the bench or cut him?

    Even if it really was intended in jest, somebody would bitch either way.

    Complainers vs. whiners. Take your pick.

    Acuna Withdrawal Syndrome

    A lot of us are here to read about him to post about his latest accolades, now the viewership will suffer until the season begins when it actually matters. These 10 days will be excruciating. Then Christmas two weeks after that. Can't wait.

    I want Acuna up as soon as he's able to come up. No need to keep him down any further. I also don't think Tucker is capable of 2 WAR and even if he is, you let him and Markakis battle it out.

    As soon as we gain the extra year, Acuna needs to be up and playing everyday in RF. Decisions can be made elsewhere, but that is what has to happen. Preston Tucker doesn't need to factor in at all to any decision regarding Acuna.
