Bubba Chandler watch. Pick the date.

My best guess is that he will be called up on June 20th. It is a Friday night home game, first game of a home stand, probably safely past the Super Two date.
How about you guys?

 

Probably another pitcher for a future money team. Bucs got pitching.

They called up Burrows but not Bubba.

 

They called Ashcraft up. I think they don’t want to risk Chandler winning rookie of the year. I read that they would lose a year of control if he does.
I can just imagine the effect on these guys when they sit in the minors and watch someone less successful and less deserving promoted ahead of them.
I would hate my employer forever.

 

If a player wins Rookie of the Year, his team is awarded a bonus pick at the end of the first round and bonus money.

Of course, that is a competitive benefit and the Pirates don't care about being competitive.
