that and he is not on the 40 man roster yet


40 man roster only exists from Sept 1 to opening day, yes?

I think part of the MLBPA's argument is that Bryant should be up with the Cubs on the opening day roster (MLPA obviously doesnt control what teams do as far as promotions) and is one of their 25 best players, hands down, especially at his position in which Mike Olt and Tommy La Stella are his competiton.

No. That's why the cubs delayed announcing either ross or lester, i'm thinking ross, for so long because they thought they could trade wellington and thus not have to make a corresponding roster move when signing ross (or lester).

I'm sure that's what it is. They should've done something about gregory polanco last year if they want any threat they make to not be laughable.

Also, I think we need to come up with names for both sides in this cubs fan civil war. KBOD (Kris Bryant Opening Day-ers) vs. STC (service time concern-ers)

I'd say we meet in the bleachers and fight it out, but you know...

While I agree he's one of the best 25 offensively, the guy has 4 or 5 errors in less than 20 chances at third in ST. Let's pump the brakes on the position part.
