The guy needs to be in MLB. I don't know what the Pirates are doing. He has nothing left to prove in the minors. Fire the bullets with the big club.


It actually makes a ton of sense. The Pirates are a small market team and aren’t expect to contend this season. If he ends up winning rookie of the year, he’s going to get a full season of service time. If he goes down with a major arm injury early next year, they would have basically ended up wasting his three arbitration years by bringing him up too early. The Nationals waited until early June to bring up Strasburg and the Pirates should do the same to prevent Skenes from winning ROY and having that additional year of service time from kicking in.

The assumption of injuries, winning rookie of the year, etc. Goodness what an over complication. You play to win and a guy that can help you do so isn’t in the majors yet.
