The Dugout: MiLB Thoughts

Ennis is finally starting to progress. He hit the juice since July 1, 2029;

Mid-July should clear him of Super 2 status. Can't wait to see what he does in the bigs!

What is super 2?

It's pretty complicated, let me see if I can give you a quick/simple answer.

Essentially, players have three years of minimum deals before they are eligible for arbitration. "Super 2" players are eligible for arbitration before 3 years. In order for you to be considered a "Super 2" player, however, you need to 1) Have less than 3 years service time, but more than 2 and 2) rank within the top 22% of all 2-year players in terms of service time.

There is no way of really knowing when to bring someone up as to avoid being in the top 22% of PT, but mid-July is generally a safe time to call them up.

Make sense?

Yep, thanks for explaining.

I think its time to depress some people. After clearing waivers, Adrian Price accepted an assignment down to AAA Columbus. That's right folks, a 16 million dollar player is hacking it in the minors!!

These examples just gave me an idea. Dru50 Bondzai wouldn't you say these two guys could be charter members of The Dugout's Cut Dem Checks club?!

Yes, but the correct term would be "Keep Gettin Dem Checks!".....get yer Jalen game right J.

Haha my bad!

Keep gettin dem checks Lynwood!!!

Still regretting not trading for him, JFace907 ?

HarkTheSound that's not minor league news

Itching to bring this kid up. Might as well do it for this sim so he can stay on the playoff roster.

Yay the Dodgers have a top prospect! Now I just need to figure out when he will get hurt.

Don't see this that often.

Will be bringing this guy up next year. Should be solid.

Noticed that the other day when it said my AAA team was 16 games over .500 but still in 4th place. Crazy

​

Tigers RF Nick Wright (#9 ranked Prospect as of 5/1) was called up to begin this year and has started all 120 games thus far (watch him get hurt now ). He got off to a real cold start hitting .191 in April but has come along great since. He leads the team in home runs which has been something this organization has struggled with for years.

​

Interesting attributes for the guy. All that power with no eye and high K's.
