I think you're too giddy about bringing him up.
Giddy or not it is not going to set him back a year to come up here for 2 weeks. They could bring up a kid from Hickory for 2 weeks without doing any major damage to him. Certainly not set him back a year.

I didn't think you could initiate a challenge in the 9th.
Guess you can. Just the umps are supposed to if neither team has one and it's disputed. They should have looked at that one.

It could very well set him back plenty far. The risk simply isn't worth it.

yep but now it is time to kick it into neutral and coast for the next couple of weeks
If they play a backup for two weeks while a guy is hurt I don't think you can call that coasting though. If that is coasting they started coasting when they made the decision to have Rosales on the team in the first place since they knew he would be needed at a time like this at some point.

Why would you call him up for 2 weeks? If he's not part of your current plans you leave him be.

You want them to hold themselves accountable? :laugh3:

If you need an infielder for 2 weeks, call up Lucas. Leave Gallo and Odor where they are.

If he was ready, he would be here now.

That fat bastard is so bad at defense. One of the most overrated players of his time.

I think you are seeing a risk that isn't really there, but that is your opinion and that is fine with me. I just wouldn't be surprised if the Rangers see it differently. They may have so much confidence in Rosales that they don't even consider it. By the time he is playing here for good it probably won't make much difference where he plays the next two weeks.

Okay, what's the benefit? There isn't one. Leave him alone.
