He passed up money on Day 2, which could have been low ball offers. There's a possibility of getting more as a UDFA. They can go up to $125k without using pool money.
If teams are talking to him on day 2 why would they be entertaining a guy with leverage like him for less than $125k?

On Day 2 they could have been gauging interest to see how low his price would be (since there were rumblings about how happy he was to be here).
Now, with a $125K head start, a team that likes him and had pool money left over might be able to put together a better package for him.
I'm not saying it's going to happen, just that it's not unreasonable.
They have until 8/22 to make a deal. That's when the semester starts.

Pearson will be in the lineup against RHP. The opening in the OF could be against LHP.
My point was that if the freshman end up being that good, there are going to be more solid bats available than there are spots in the lineup. SOMEBODY will have to be the odd man out. Almost my entire post was dedicated to the question of who would start between Guidry and Kling. I started with the proposition that only one position was available. The implication was that Pearson had a spot locked up. I don’t expect him to get knocked out of the lineup.
But who do you sit if Kling and Guidry earn their way into the lineup? I just mentioned Pearson as one possibility. I then said it would more likely rotate through a few different players. Nothing in anything I said was a knock on Pearson.

shite, there are two of y’all ?
I thought you wanted to push off White off 3B and move Morgan to the OF? If Kling is THAT good and earns a starting spot in the OF, where is Pearson going to play in that scenario? As I said in my other response, I am not down on Pearson at all. My post really assumes he has a spot locked down. I simply acknowledged the possibility, not likelihood, of both Kling and Guidry earning starting roles. At that point SOMEONE is going to left out be it Pearson, Thompson, Dugas, etc. A very good player will have to sit. Like I said, who that is would probably rotate. More than likely, it will be Kling or Guidry who have to wait their turn.

I just can’t imagine him regressing and it would take that happening for him to not start a game.
I expect Pearson to start. My post really starts with that premise. I only end with the possibility, not probability, that Kling and Guidry both earn their way into the lineup. If Kling is that good, it wouldn’t take regression on Pearson’s part.

If you have 10 starters, 1 guy can't start today. Dynamite.

And, yet, people were losing their minds at that possibility.

Because you have more moving parts than that obvious statement. Skenes has to pitch 1 game so a spot may open there. You have L/R matchups, so an OF spot may open up against LHP. Skenes may pitch against a LHP, so 2 spots may open in that scenario.
Pearson will not be the odd man out. Period. If Jay chooses to go RH heavy against LHP, that is not an odd man out scenario.

And from the very beginning I have stated that who is left out is likely to rotate. I said someone LIKE Pearson might get left out and people lost it without any consideration for my actual words or the context of the post.

Pearson will not be the odd man out. Period. He's as close to a lineup lock as can be to Crews, White, and Morgan. I don't understand how you want people to respond to you using him as an example of being the odd man out.

If (and I’ve always framed it as an IF) Kling and Guidry both play well enough to surpass the other players on the roster, who do you think is the first player left out of the rotation? No matter who you say, it’s going to be a big time player. I agree with you 100% there will be different combinations and rotations such that no one player is out most of the time, but I don’t think Pearson is any more safe than Thompson, Dugas or anyone else.
Ultimately, I don’t think both Kling and Guidry become primary starters, in which case Pearson definitely is. If Kling outperforms Guidry, I think he starts in LF and Guidry gets spot starts as a utility IF with Kling, Skenes, Dugas, Thompson and, yes, occasionally Pearson (against LHP) sitting. If Guidry outperforms Kling then I think he takes a regular spot at one IF position with Dugas being the player who moves around and the same group of players occasionally rotating out.

We will have 9 players in the lineup. Well done. I agree.

Okay. Got it. You’re a troll. I will be sure not to feed you in the future.
Posted on 8/8/22 at 4:18 pm to MikeTheTiger71
Yep, you got me. Just a troll.
Posted on 8/8/22 at 4:32 pm to MikeTheTiger71
Yes, Pearson is more safe than Dugas.

You're going to get a if-then scenario here.

Since when has it been a question whether or not Pearson is going to start?
I can guarantee you he's starting lol

Did you read my post or are you just responding to other people’s misinterpretation of what I said?
