An Aaron Wilson (?) said a few hours ago that Chisenhall had left Columbus. Possibly in Arizona tonight?

I also thought Donald would get the call first, but maybe this is a combination of getting the fans excited and going for the player with the highest impact potential?

I assume we’ll still see him against LHP with that reverse split.

Kearns and Duncan next please. Btw does anyone know if Chiz is capable of playing first?

by SippOnThis on Jun 27, 2011 3:32 PM EDT reply actions

Would think Hannahan gets moved to 1B despite his superiority as a glovesmen for developmental reasons. Chisenhall is long-term, Hannahan is not.

by Roger Dorn on Jun 27, 2011 3:33 PM EDT up reply actions

No way they bring up Chisenhall to play first, especially if LaPorta or Nick Johnson will be ready to go in a week or so.

I would guess Hannahan and Santana share it for now.

by Ryan on Jun 27, 2011 3:38 PM EDT up reply actions

I was just thinking short term while LaPorta’s still out, but Hannahan at first makes more sense

I wouldn’t even begin to speculate about what may or may not be in the new CBA. Certainly the owners would like to remove it, but that doesn’t really mean that much.

I bet it won’t be.

by Jay on Jun 27, 2011 9:48 PM EDT up reply actions

I bet the agents push for it. These days, the only thing it really accomplishes is pushing back general arbitration because teams are terrified of the Super Two. While the service time portion remains the same, the prospects end up getting pushed down the calendar.

by gte619n on Jun 28, 2011 9:32 AM EDT up reply actions

The agents are not part of the negotiations.

If you eliminate it, you’ve got 25 or so players every year who won’t get arbitration who otherwise would have, and of course this has a spillover effect on their future earnings as well.

Why would the MLBPA be in favor of that? Nobody has answered that question for me. There is always going to be a threshold point for service time and a threshold point for arbitration, and teams will always be more reticent to call up a top prospect around that point. You can move that point around, but you can’t eliminate it.

by Jay on Jun 28, 2011 10:24 AM EDT up reply actions

By far.

I think LaPorta may be a RF now.

With his injury problems, you think so? I almost view this as the team losing patience in him and considering some sort of platoon between LaPorta, Marson, Santana, and Hannahan.

A U.S. Army platoon has between 16 and 44 soldiers; the Indians are getting close. On to Verdun!

Scoresheet purposes. Players with less than 130 at bats qualify for rookie status which means they don’t count toward the 13 protected players each year. If Chisenhall and Kipnis come up I’m gonna have a roster crunch.

I keep going back to his peripherals and I’m… not excited. But perhaps he’s mildly young for his level? Or that he’ll start walking more because he found walk rate boring? Or that he’ll hit more line drives and for more power?

Don’t get me wrong. I’d love to see him tear it up. I just don’t want to hang too much on the kid. (At this point, anything is better than what we’ve been watching.)

All this option, trade, DFA, bankruptcy and Chiz talk obscures the fact that since Andrew has taken his vow of silence, at the commencement of which the Indians had a five game lead, the Tribe is 7-16, having scored 2.74 runs per game, been shut out 5 times, and having been outscored by a run and a haf per game.

Perhaps, Andrew, you are gaining great benefits from this Kavadi—Lord knows everyone wants Nitya Sukha, infinite knowledge, immortality, freedom and independence—but your Karma must be a little ragged right now with all the suffering you have bequeathed us.
