… methinks it could very well happen… mr. kade is just continuing to mow down all opponents…but they don't want to rush him, he is their future super bonus baby… heard another former Tiger got his first call-up to the majors this past week, it was kind of a surprise… can't for the life of me remember who it was… had my head buried in some intel-mac laptops all night long, converting them to windows… can't even type straight anymore…

I'd rather they call him up to the majors when they expand their rosters in September.

I think the Mariners try and keep their top pitching prospects in double A as long as they can because of the hitting environment at their triple A park

Nothing like calling up a guy and then having his confidence shaken. He had a bad outing the one before and showed he could bounce back. MLB hitters will get the book on you and figure out how to attack. You will see a guy called up and do well a few outings then the club sends them back. That’s because they are wanting to see how he responds to those hitters.

The Mariners are LOADED with pitching. If they called him up for a few games and he gets shelled, then sends him down, his trade value drops. The best time to do that is after the trade deadline if at all.

They will likely add him to the 40 man if they’re in the playoffs. With how bad we (Astros) are and the rangers sucking, only the As are showing some signs of depth. That doesn’t bode well for others because the entire division sucks. That means only 1 (and maybe 2 teams make the playoffs from the division), which may be the Mariners.

Kade needs to stay put and develop one more pitch to command (which he is working on now) before he is called up or best case traded to my Astros.

He will be a late season call up when thy expand the rosters to get a few innings in before heading into next year.

He is done well at Double A i expect them to call him up soon to Triple A.

The 5 starters at Triple A are old. 38,31,31,29. and 29 yrs old. Every starter has more IP than strikeouts. Kade has 58 K's in 38 IP. Yea i get it the ball travels well on the West Coast. If Seattle has an injury to one of there starters they not calling those bums up at triple A. So i'm thinking he gets the call up within a month to Triple A to get some experience against better hitters and see where he stands.

They changed the rules within the last 10 years or so, I believe. I don’t remember exactly what they are, but I believe it significantly limited the number of 9/1+ call-ups. And I’ve never known how it affects their service time. But the Mariners—or anybody—aren’t giving up an entire year of control for 1 month. But like I said, I’ve never known how post August call ups affect service time. It might not at all.

But even though Kade was old for his class, he was still just a sophomore in college last year. He pitched a good bit early, but not much late in his freshman season. And I’m pretty sure he missed his whole Sr. year in high school. There is absolutely no need to rush him up.
And I don’t think they will. He’s way too valuable longterm.

1 Yes, MLB completely revamped September call-up rules in 2020 to prevent teams from bringing up an entire minor league squad, limiting active rosters to 28 players instead of the previous 40-man limit.

The significant rule changes for the final month of the regular season include:

Hard Cap on Roster Size: Beginning September 1, active rosters must be expanded to exactly 28 players. Before this rule, teams were allowed to bring up every player on their 40-man roster, which frequently bloated dugouts during late-season playoff races.

Pitcher Limits: To prevent teams from cycling through endless relief pitchers, active rosters are restricted to a maximum of 14 pitchers during the month of September.

September call-ups count for service time just like any other day a player spends on the active Major League roster.A player gets one day of service time for each day they are on the 28-man roster in September.


quote:

How It Impacts Teams and PlayersCounting Toward Free Agency:

A full MLB season is 187 days, but a player only needs 172 days to get a full year of service time. A September call-up gives a player roughly 30 days of service time. This counts toward the six full years they need to become a free agent.


quote:

Team Control Conundrum: If a team calls up a prospect for September, that player starts building service time early. To keep that player under team control for an extra year later on, the team might have to keep them down in the minor leagues for a month during a future season.

Fewer Players Affected: Because the new rules limit September rosters to 28 players instead of 40, teams can only call up two extra players. This means teams have to worry about this service time math for far fewer prospects than they used to.

What is it in AA and AAA? Those same players you’re referring to are hitting 300 to 350 in the minor league. It’s a different world at the major leagues. You put Alex Bregman in the minors and he’s gonna hit 325 but in the majors, he’s maybe hitting 260. It’s all about perspective and the level of competition of course. Why call up a guy when your team has five guys as good or better? You don’t need to hurry up his development at this point. If you think he’ll be an ace, then maybe put him on the 40 minute roster after the trade deadline because you were going to keep him. Some of you just need to freaking think for just a second about what’s best for the player long-term and not where some random LSU fan wants them to be.

Anthony Eyanson would have a great chance to be called up but the Rox have the top pitching club in baseball with the Mariners at 3.
One of the 2 may be traded before the end of the season.

I’m assuming they’re referring to your triple AAA. 3 x 3. It’s always wise to review your posts several times before submitting with this ruthless bunch.

What a September Call-Up Means for Kade AndersonInstant Roster Spot:

To bring him up, the Mariners would have to add Anderson to their 40-man roster and use one of their two expanded 28-man active roster spots.

The Service Time Clock Starts: If he gets called up on September 1, he will earn about 30 days of Major League service time by the end of the month.


quote:

Why the Mariners Must Be Careful:

If Anderson looks like a superstar during a late-season call-up, the Mariners have to weigh the risk of Super Two eligibility. Giving him an extra 30 days of service time at the end of a season makes it more likely he could reach arbitration early later in his career, which raises how much the team has to pay him.Given how dominant he has looked with his Arkansas Double-A squad, the front office will have to watch his workload and timeline closely before making that call.


quote:

Super Two status allows a player to qualify for salary arbitration early, giving them four chances to get a raise instead of the usual three. Normally, a player must spend three full years in the major leagues before they can argue for a higher salary. Super Two status changes that timeline by giving a special bonus year to top-performing young players.


quote:

Maximize Career Earnings With an Extra Arbitration Year
The financial difference for a player who earns Super Two status can add up to millions of dollars.

How a Player Qualifies: A player must rank in the top 22% of all players who have between two and three years of Major League service time.

Four Raises Instead of Three: Instead of making the league minimum salary ($760,000+) for three full years, a Super Two player gets a big raise after just two years. They get to negotiate a new salary four times before they hit free agency.

The Snowball Effect: In MLB arbitration, each year's raise builds on top of the last year's salary. A player who starts getting raises a year early will make much more money over their entire rookie contract.


quote:

Compare the Financial PathsThis table shows how a fictional superstar's salary might look with and without Super Two status over their first six years.

Avoid the Super Two "Cutoff"

Teams like the Mariners track service time days very closely. If they call up a prospect like Kade Anderson too early, they risk giving him enough service days to clear the Super Two cutoff line.To avoid this, teams often wait until mid-June to call up top prospects. This delays their service time clock enough to guarantee they will not qualify for Super Two status later on.



Knowing all this, I don’t think the Mariners call him up until June 1st in ‘27 at the earliest. The only reason to call him up earlier—especially this year—is if they have a couple of injuries to their rotation, or if they are going to make the playoffs and think Kade can be a huge addition to help them make a serious run at the WS. I could see him being a really valuable high leverage lefty out of their pen.

But when you consider the limited number of innings he’s thrown the previous 3 years (relative to a professional schedule), I think the added strain on his body/arm will make the Mainers think the juice just isn’t worth the squeeze. They want to see him make it through a full minor league season 1st. And even then, I can see them throttling him down toward the end of this season to protect him. Maybe not, but I think that’s more likely than a call up.

But they’ll obviously be keeping a keen eye on both him—how his velo, spin rates, control, etc…are affected by the higher usage—and their own big league team’s chances of making a legit run at the World Series. They’ll be constantly considering the risk/reward. But at the end of the day, I think they go conservative with him. Again, he’s just too valuable long term.
