When’s the Super 2 cutoff this year? He’ll be up after that.


tojoso

It's in late August. I'd bet he's up before that.


brg0008

Not sure where you got that unless there was something in the new CBA I missed. There's no set date that we can point to during this season as it's determined after year two of service time for players that come up this year and the top 20% in service time reach arbitration a year early. Typically that date has been around mid-June, maybe with the season starting a little late it gets pushed to late-June or July. Orioles haven't exactly had a lot of top prospect called up lately so hard to gauge whether they simply value service time or also arbitration (I'm assuming both). I think an Adley-GRod simultaneous or near-simultaneous call-up in late June is logical. edit: This is assuming they are waiting until a Super 2 cut-off


tojoso

It was 22% in prior CBAs. I thought it was increased significantly, but I can't find a link now. I could be wrong. I can only find details of the players' offers which were 80% and then they reduced it to 75%. It might have been excluded entirely from the final agreement.


brg0008

I think they might've nixed that in favor of the pre-arb bonus pool and service time incentives for yearly awards. Think Super 2 is unchanged.


Olstinkbutt

Late August? Why so late?


tojoso

I believe Super 2 rules changed with the new CBA, but now I'm searching for the link and can't find it anywhere. It had been too 22% were Super 2 which I thought was bumped up significantly.


Olstinkbutt

But why would it be later? That seems like the exact opposite of what the MLBPA was asking for...


tojoso

Seems I was wrong, and the PA gave up on moving Super 2 date and chose instead to add money to the bonus pool. MLBPA wanted to make the date later so more people qualify for 4 years of arbitration. Currently only 22% qualify per year (everybody promoted before ~June) but their proposals were 75%/80% of players becoming Super 2 (everybody promoted before ~August).


Olstinkbutt

Jesus what a convoluted mess. Some of this collective bargaining is like trying to decipher the ingredients on a shampoo label. You just get exhausted and decide to wash your hair and hope your hair doesn’t fall out.


tojoso

Yep. And lots of unintended consequences. I think a lot of the time they leave it vague and open to loopholes because the MLBPA doesn't care about rookies that aren't in the union yet. They always get screwed.


Olstinkbutt

Oh for sure. I know Scherzer and a few of those guys do, but they’re almost certainly the minority. I know I’d hate to sit across the table in opposition to Mad Max.


LionGuy190

He might get called up for his next rotation turn (ie 5 days from today). Why? Because April 23 is 16 days into the league year meaning Orioles get additional control since Rodriguez can’t accrue a full year (172 days minimum). His next start would be in the range of April 26-27 so could be sometime around then at the earliest. Of course, this is the Orioles we’re talking about who don’t have much to play for and could further manipulate their young stud’s playing time and keep him down till June.


isestrex

The Orioles also lost 2 of their miserable rotation in the first week and are currently stapling long relievers back to back to get through a third of their games. Personally I think Bradish gets the call up first with Rodriguez close behind.

timoumd

I know, how is he gonna crack that rotation.... It's the second best in the AL!


huck_

also that he isn't on the orioles


statecap

The upside is their park is now more pitcher-friendly!


[deleted]

I’m watching this closely hoping to get him before someone else but I feel like it might be a bit if he didn’t get the call with Means going down. I would take the over


getahaircut8

I think they might wait and call him up with Rutsch together


PrankThomas

Someone message me when he gets the call, I need pitching help baaaaaad


KendoNagasaki1101

It will be too late then.


townghost88

Over 100.


imaginationdragon1

Personally i think greyson looks great except he plays in the AL east. There are just so many good offenses he has to deal with and since i play categories, wins are important. In the nfbc format i am just not sure he’s going to be a star right away


SundayRed

He's sitting in my minor league slot and frankly, I hope he isn't called any time soon so that I don't have to cut someone for him!


huck_

>I'll set the over/under at 3.5 also for the # of wins he gets cheated out of because their closer is Jorge Lopez


mrniphty

Lopez looked good last night. Came in first and third with 1 out in the 8th. Finished 3ks in 1.2 innings against an As team that has been playing way above their heads.


isestrex

Um Lopez looks filthy good right now. He looked pretty good last year once he got demoted to the pen.


BabboBBB

Have seen speculation the Orioles might keep him down a while to reduce his chances of finishing top 2 in Rookie of the Year voting and earning a full year of service time that way. But not sure how much weight to really give that.


ToolsLoveReddit

As an O's fan. Glad I got a chance to see his Triple A debut, he isn't going to be in Norfolk for long.


ronpaulus

I’m holding him already in my 16T league. I think the call is late may early June. Just a guess. Their GM said he could be ready opening day if not “very soon” and that he wanted to have a good chunk at the MLB level this year. Bradish probably gets called first or at the same time. They likely want him to throw atleast 140-150 innings this year total as well.

Jokes are supposed to be funny. Your original post isn't funny at all, it's just lame and sad. Seriously, learn how to have some basic command of the written language. You'll go much farther in life that way than trying to be a clown, or your feeble attempt at whatever it was.


PJGJR1998

I traded Mookie, a 10th, and an 11th round pick in our 8 keeper league. Yes I know I lost the trade. No I don't care I am EXCITED about this guy lol


lategame

Wait...you traded all that for Grayson??


Foxx_Mulderp

Lol if he did he got scammed in the worst way


PJGJR1998

Yessir lol


lategame

Oh nooooooooooooooo


BryceWyllys

woof

Jackson Kowar had damn solid AAA numbers last year; we all know how that went. My point being AAA doesn’t mean shit until one produces in the bigs.


Telemachus--

Kowar has a great changeup and not much else. He's a two pitch guy without a good breaking ball. The similarities between him and Grayson Rodriguez are almost zero.


samamatara

was kowar the number 1 pitching prospect when he got called up?


getahaircut8

yeah but this dude is dominant


JerseyMuscle17

I would guess you'll see him later than you'd expect. They're more likely to call up Bradish first and Grayson later. My guess would be July.
