@EthanHullihen But would it still not earn a PPI pick since he didn’t earn a year of service based on time in the majors?

I guess this is tweet (3/2). Meegan is mentioned in the same articles of left-handed pitchers being called southpaws numerous times. He's also not mentioned in articles that talk about lefty pitchers in the league. If he was a lefty, it would have been known. He was a RHP.

With Paul Skenes and Jared Jones going for Pirates strikeout records for the next six seasons, I'd like to mention that the franchise's record for strikeouts by a RHP isn't recognized for two reasons. Pete Meegan struck out 15 Baltimore batters on July 15, 1885... (1/2)

@CWolfPGH Tide Tables and Skinny’s Place were two low key restaurants that we went to with the whole family. Shark tooth hunting along Venice Beach near Sarasota is a good activity.

@EthanHullihen @JMackeyPG Thanks! I saw some people thought that Brubaker would be the first one to the 60-day since he’s expected back first of the other 3. But I figured the opposite since the 60-days is from opening day regardless. If they waited, could they add him retro to opening day anyway?

@d9fly @JMackeyPG Correct, they effectively operated with 39 spots after Burrows was out last season. And also correct, which is the rub and presumably why many teams try to avoid placing injured minor leaguers on the 60-day IL

Here's what I know about the Pirates' pitching pursuits: Active trade talks with Marlins Wednesday could be big with four 40-man spots opening No Trevor Bauer but seriously considering Domingo German post-gazette.com/sports/pirates…

@EthanHullihen @JMackeyPG Burrows would still count towards the 40-man in that case, correct? But if they were to put him on the 60-day then he would begin earning service time as a major leaguer, right?

@JMackeyPG They can't place everyone on the 60-day IL at once, it's not allowed. Also, they can option Burrows, which is almost assuredly what they will do

@Dejan_Kovacevic @mcastello32 Seems like the opposite of “Why don’t they spend money?” If it has a chance to add value for this season or if you’re not looking at a playoff run at the trade deadline then you can get (minimal) future value through a trade, it’s still spending money towards a positive

@Dejan_Kovacevic #J1Q, is the Chapman 1-year signing not an admission (again...) of signing a guy to hopefully acquire a return come trade season? Thats the only way I see this headed--he either provides a return, or walks end of year. In which case, what was the point..?

@EthanHullihen Gotcha, thanks. Still at least 3 spots that could be opened after 2/14. Do you think they would place Burrows on ML roster then 60-day to free up 40 man spot while accruing service time or just leave 40 man spot tied up?

@d9fly Yeah, teams save those as corresponding transactions for when they need to open a spot because you can't just do it all at once for no reason.

I know I've seen this starting to kick around a lot on here, so here it is: Based on the start date for this season and the rules, Feb. 14th will be the first day teams can place players on the 60-day IL. Mark your calendars--and official transactions--accordingly.

@EthanHullihen Yeah, that’s the rule I saw. So if they place Oviedo to 60-day on 2/14 they would need to add someone back to 40 man before placing Endy to 60-day and so on? When I looked at previous year’s transactions I wasn’t sure why all injured weren’t added simultaneously.

@d9fly and as the corresponding move. It just can't be the avenue to clear a spot if the 40 is at 39 or less.

@EthanHullihen Seems clear, but I had seen 2/13 listed by a few teams for reporting. I also figured you could help clear up something else I saw. I read that to place someone on 60-day IL your reserve list must be full. Does that mean that they can’t place 3 or 4 on 60-day at same time?

If this isn't clear, Feb 14th is 43 days before the March 28th Opening Day. There is an international opener on the schedule on Mar. 20th this year, but the rules state that everyone else's opener is still the official start to their seasons.

@ballsandgutters I have been saying this same thing recently. When I looked it up 2/13 is when P, C, and Injured players report. I also saw language that you need to have a full reserve list in order to place someone on the 60day, so they may not be able to add all to 60day at the same time

@LockedOnPiratese Ethan - enjoying your show. Want you to mention to listeners that on the day that pitchers and catchers report (Feb 14) we can put Oviedo, Endy, Brubaker & Burrows on the IL and open up 4(!) roster spots. Pretty sure this is what's stalling our offseason.

@eYARKulation @ballsandgutters Yeah, you’re right. I’m wrong. The “days on IL” don’t start counting until season starts but you can place players on 60-day from the first day of pitchers/catchers reporting, which I did not know. Felt like they waited until last minute to 60-day guys ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@412DoublePlay @eYARKulation @ballsandgutters This year it is February 13th that Pitchers, Catchers, and injured players can report which is also the first day that they may be put on 60 daily IL based on rules and previous years. Would be expected to free up at least 3 40 man roster spots

@EthanHullihen Do you think that they picked up the additional international pool allotment to try to get the Korean pitcher who went to the Dodgers and when they missed that target there just wasn’t another viable target available? Also, they don’t receive cash for unused spending, right?

Do realize, I was mostly being cheeky, seeing as the report calls a posting unlikely. Can't imagine it would get all sorted in a week anyway That is how much they are likely to let lapse spending wise though

@EthanHullihen Looking at it another way, the Pirates did spend more than every team besides Detroit, correct? They just would have had more room for over-slot signings. Did BC provide any feedback on whether they passed up any over-slot prospects from their board?

I'm going to double-check everything once the mentioned list is final, but for now, here is where every team stands, post deadline: What the Brewers did was amazing, going from top to bottom in a few hours. Pirates at number one in most remaining space before losing a pick.

We should have the complete picture of signings updated on the BA Draft Database shortly, with more follow up analysis of each class coming as well.
