Originally posted by Ryno84MVP View PostIn an average year there are 183 service days in a major-league season, 162 games and 21 off days. If you accrue 172 days in any season, it is considered a full year. Six full years gets you to free agency. Five years and 170 days does not. If the Cubs wait 12 days into the 2015 season to call up Bryant, he would finish 2015 with less than one year of service time, 171 days total.

So how soon do you think we see Addison Russell? According to reports, he has been impressive this spring, both at bat and in the field (hitting .462). I mean, yeah if Bryant isn't coming up right away, Russell isn't either. But if Russell looks real good at SS and can hit, they've gotta trade Castro sooner rather than later, no?
Truth in advertising: I have Russell in my NL only (deep rosters) - he was $7 in his contract year heading into keepers last week - and at the last minute I decided to extend him a year...so Im invested in the next 2 years of Russell.

Javier Baez looks more and more lost at the plate. With Arismendy Alcantara (and Tommy La Stella) playing well and very capable at 2B, I'm starting to have my doubts about Baez being on the major league roster to start the year. And that doesn't even factor in Addison Russell.

edit: Wow Ryno, we made similar posts on Baez at almost the same time. Scary.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
