Padres just trades Upton. Could this be Renfoe's chance?
Could be. They may hold off a month till September though
If not it will be because of money... Just like the Drays did with Price.. not sure how it works but guaranteed money is involved or something if high draft picks are called up before a certain date...
I think his date for that has already passed. I expect him to get called up.Quote:

3. If a team waits to call up a player until 2 weeks- a month after the start of the season, that season doesn't count as a "complete" season and the team essentially has control over the player for an additional year. 7 years instead of 6 before the player is eligible for free agency.
4. Players are eligible for salary arbitration after their 3rd MLB season, but, if a player is called up before mid- Mayish, he can be eligible for "Super 2" status which allows him to become arbitration eligible before completing 3 full years of service time.
That's the simplistic version. Since Mid- May has already passed, the Padres would only gain a service time and financial advantage by delaying Renfro's call up till after mid-May 2017 and, since that doesn't make any sense, I expect them to call him up.
4.
Isn't there something that also stipulates how many times you can be called up before something kicks in? I know this is a simplified way of explaining, but it's to protect a player from being called up for 10 days, sent down, called up, sent down, etc.
I'm glad the MLB rules aren't complicatedQuote:

Actually makes sense as he is possibly their future CF which they need that ability with the loss of Upton. But Renfroe won't stay down much longer with the way he is raking in AAA. Just killing the ball right now.Quote:

Margot is 21
Hunter is 24
Margot does play a premium position in cf
Bj has been a corner outfielder this year I believe.Quote:

2. Every player has 3 option years. Once called up to the Major Leagues and "optioned" to the minor leagues 1 time, that entire year is considered an "option year" and the team can send the player back and forth as many times as they want. Once a player has been through this for 3 years, he is designated "out of options". Upon earning this designation, in order for said player to be sent down to the minor leagues he must be "designated for assignment" and pass through waivers. After he passes through waivers, he can either accept the assignment or immediately become a free agent.
They are trying to find someone to take Matt Kemp off their hands. If that happens, Hunter will get called up.
