Piggy, Fox up; Gallagher, Patterson down; Blanco to 60-day

[tinkerstoeverstochance]

so we got all worked up for what!!!

[Brian]

I wonder if Fox will get more than 2 AB this time

 

And maybe 3HR in one game is what it will take for Geo to get a real shot?

[rickrolled]

I can't see Fox playing much, except the occasional pinch hit or maybe a start once in a while.

Fox is going down either when Floyd comes back or Sori. Let him get a chance while he's up here.

By the time Soriano comes back, rosters will have expanded.

 

I would hope that Fox stays up here for the rest of the season. No use in wasting two of his options in one year, especially when September is right around the corner.

you can't use up options during a year. once he's called up, he's used up his option and can be sent up and down freely.

 

the option rules should be stickied at the top of this board because this comes up every time someone is called up.

As I said earlier in the thread, my guess is that Fox will start tomorrow night (they aren't going to start 2 of Jacque/Pie/Ward against a left-hander), and be the biggest right-handed pinch-hit bat on the bench the other days until Floyd gets back.

[JimSorgi]

Did Patterson get more than one AB while up?

[CubColtPacer]

Did Patterson get more than one AB while up?

 

Patterson had 7 plate appearances and 1 start while he was up.

Wow, I didn't notice he started.

The option isn't used from being called up, it's used from being sent down. For all players who start the season the 40 man but do not break camp with the 25 man/60 day DL, they use up the option before the season started. For guys added to the 40 man in season, they have to be sent down first before using an option. If Pigs lasts the season on the 25 man until rosters expand then he will still have all options in tact at the end of the year. (not that it's a great concern with Pigs.)

Technically, a player has to spend 20 days in the minors for that option to be used up - if he spends less than that, the option isn't burned. In the case of Pigs, if he goes back down for 19 days, then comes back up for good, he'll still have 3 minor league options to start next season. The same is true for EPatt - as long as he's recalled by September 2nd, he will have all 3 options for next season. If Jake Fox doesn't go back to the minors again this season, he also will have all 3 options remaining since he spent 18 days in Iowa after being sent down.

see, i had no clue on the more intricate parts of the rules for options, and this discussion seemingly comes up every time someone is called up/sent down. sticky the option rules!

Be sure and include the examples when you sticky the rules - I thought I knew the rules but the examples cited in this thread were more informative than just a recitation of the rules.

Sweet info! Maybe at least Hendry knows what he's doing in this situation. When Floyd comes back, I would imagine that EPatt gets sent down and then recalled on Sept. 1, with a maximum of 16 days in Iowa. Nice job, Jimbo.

Eric went down yesterday with Gallagher to make room for Piggy and Fox.
