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.

 

There are rumors that Chandler will be up Tuesday to take Burrows' spot in the rotation, but I'm not sure that works. He just pitched Saturday.
