Would calling Vladdy up be a bad idea?

[Spanky99]

Anyone know Vlad's stats after tonight's game?

Man, the sound of the crack of the bat from Vladdy is a thing of beauty.

 

I'd understand the argument of keeping Vladdy down a little more if Josh was healthy, but his arm still looks pretty weak to me. I don't think he'll be able to sustain a full season at 3rd. Morales is a shell of his former self so I think it's best to cut bait with him, so there's definitely a very sensible scenario for Vladdy to fit in nicely with the team this year.

 

If I was running the Jays, I'd call Vladdy up to AAA, see how he does during the rest of May and the first few weeks of June and if he's performing at this clip, then he has to be promoted. It wouldn't be fair to the kid to keep him down. Especially if the Jays are still sniffing around a wildcard spot.

Burning controllable time is a bad idea when your team is not competing, yes.

Now this is something I have been thinking about and hope MLB and the PA consider in the future. Let each kid have one September call up that does not count against service. This would have many benefits including letting a kid like Vladi get a taste of MLB and feel for what it takes to be a big leaguer. Just an idea.

 

I’m pretty sure the PA would strike before allowing players to spend time on the 25-man without accruing service time.

This thread is going to look awfully silly. How will the team justify keeping him down until May or June 2019? People will be rioting if he continues like this in about a month, and there's no reason to believe he's going to slow down.

 

It's all about controlling your assets. There are smarter men than we who make these decisions.

Let's face it, Vlad is a combo of Prince Fielder and Miggy. Move him to first and let his career run. That body is not going to translate at 3rd.

FWIW September call ups aren't added to the 25 man.

Thanks. Sometimes us casuals have a hard time understanding things.
