The promotion of the Royals of Jac Caglianone was questioned by the former president of Miami Marlins, David Samson.
While many Kansas City fans were delighted with Caglianone, Prospect n ° 10 from MLB.comT, was promoted to the showSamson had the complete opposite reaction.
“What Kansas City has done was the most important irresponsible movement I saw in a fairly long time,” said Samson on CBS Sports HQ on Tuesday.
The reproach, however, has nothing to do with the preparation of the 22 -year -old young man for the big leagues.
“If he’s going to be so good, how are you calling him now where he will hit arbitration a year earlier than if they were waiting on June 17 around June 17?”, Samson continued.
By calling Caglianone now instead of the Super Two deadline, Kansas City burns a year of control of the team from its star perspective. The Royals would have won an additional season if they had waited a little longer, with this movement in the place accelerating this clock.
If Caglianone ends in the first two of the recruit of the year, he would get a full year of service anyway, but it is far from being given.
Although this is not an important problem for teams with higher wages, such as yankees, dishes and dodgers, small market teams and royals often have to be more strategic to manage their limited payroll.
“I do not know how a team that is not in the top 10 of the pay is not paying attention to the dates,” said Samson. “And the Royals forcing the problem, it’s a pile of hockey on horseback. You take the two additional weeks because it gives you an additional year and consists of arbitration.
“It is a decision of $ 10 million they made. It is better to be Vladimir Guerrero Sr. and it would be better to start now. ”
Although Samson’s main argument is logical of long -term and financial opinions, it apparently does not take into account the position in which the Royals are found today.
After reaching the playoffs for the first time in eight years last season, the Royals seek to integrate this success in this campaign
Kansas City is in the middle of another eliminatory series race, entering Slate One Game from Wedneday on a joker point and 7 1/2 games behind the Tigers in the Central Al.
The Royals need an offensive help, after scoring the third plus points in sport, and Caglianone could make the range more threatening.
The young left-hander reduced an impressive .319 / .370 / .723 with a 1.093 OPS covering 12 games with Triple-A Omaha, which included six circuits and 13 products.
He posted a cumulative oblique bar line .322 / .394 / .553 with a .947 OPS, including his double-A time.
In his first match in major leagues on Tuesday, Caglianone went 0 for 5 as a designated Royals striker
If Caglianone can postpone his striking scorching in the majors, he could become a key asset in the pursuit of the Royals towards consecutive appearances of the playoffs.
