That became a thing once this rule was in place and was certainly not the norm among top prospects. Even the Braves kept Acuna down and still gave him a massive payday well before arb. It was just something every team did.

The whole point of the reward is so that teams don't keep mega prospects down a few weeks to gain a year of service time. Those guys I listed are the very reason the reward exists. Without it there is a high chance they would be hitting FA a year earlier later than what they were going to...

I think it's doing a pretty good job so far. No doubt Carroll, Julio Rodriguez, Henerson, and Witt would have had their clocks delayed without the rule. And that's just the 4 players that earned their team a pick. How inaccurate are the lists really? It doesn't favor Atlanta much because of how...

Tatis would certainly fill the OF spot so that Acuna/Profar can rotate through DH. That being said. Do we really want to become the Atlanta Athletic Padres?

Realistically it's a problem for certain fan bases. Players don't care. I would say most teams don't care. General fans don't care. We just had one of the most watched World Series in years. Attendance per game league wide is high at 29 million. This is really only a big issue for hardcore...

So less treat their top prospects like the Cubs treated Kris Bryant. Teams did and will still manipulate service time but that one was the most public and obvious. Braves are punished a bit because they don't let their best prospects stay in the minors that long. Aggressive promotions has been...

Brown was still PPI (Prospect Promotion Incentive) eligible. If you don't win the ROY award you still can earn your team a pick by being in the top 3 of MVP or CYA voting before you hit arbitration. So you essentially have a 3 year window.

Except they can't just do that because the players union wouldn't agree to it

This happened even when there wasn't something else on the line. Unless the rookie is a overly obvious choice like Kurtz this year you are going to have hometown votes when you have a rookie that's good on your team. It's not that big of a deal.

Good start to the offseason Grats to Drake on a great rookie campaign.

These people don't think logically. It's all about that rush.

I expect a 50/100 season out of Acuna this year

He's just arguing just to argue. Ignore him.

We got any more of those mid RP types making several millions we can cut? 1 more should get us close to Kim's asking price.

Pay mega bucks for Lombard please.

Because this site sucks

Welll....I meant to say Braves playoff history as a qualifer for the Weiss play. I'd agree any number of Andruw's or Andrelton's plays are better.

What would you put agaisnt it?

You might be right. But in the end you, me, or anyone else doesn't know what those interviews were like or how the season will play out with his managerial moves. So I will leave you with this. The best defensive play in Braves playoff baseball history.
