Happy Mendy Alcantara day. If he wants to be called Mendy then he is Mendy.

Step 1 of Wave 1 commencing...

 

for 2 days anyway.

so does contra make as much in these two games as he has in his whole career so far (i have no idea what he signed for as an ifa)?

 

wasn't he making the major league minimum as a member of the 40-man roster?

 

No, it's a split deal. AZPhil goes thru all that stuff and I'm not going to try and find it now. But I "think" that if you're on the 40 man and have never played in the majors, you're making 60k or so. But once you've made it to the bigs, you get a different split. Fairly substantial, to the point your AAA salary moves up to around 200k or so. At any rate, all these guys-Wada, Beeler, Hendricks, and Alcantara start making more just by coming up. Even if they're sent back down quickly.

 

And for some reason I think Alcantara signed for around 100k, maybe 125.

 

Alcantara signed for less than $100k.

Alcantara PA final referendum on rebuild. Calling it now.

[ScrubMD]

This is by far the least pathetic-look lineup of the year.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Rebuild confirmed failure.

[NOLA]

Beeler had better get the same strike zone as this [expletive].

It may be hard to tell, assuming that the Reds put everything close in play given his complete lack of stuff.

[Gilby]

Rebuild confirmed failure.

 

He took Brett Jackson's #7. He's going to suck for sure.

[Gilby]

Shush it, JD. Rizzo didn't take off right when that pitch was dropped. Castro probably gets caught if he tries for 2nd; I love him, but he's not as fast as people like to think.

Well at least he hit that ball hard.

 

Side note: if thoe and co. don't call him back up after the AAA ASG they are real dicks

 

Side note x 2: Rizzo!!!

 

ETA: the hard hit ball ref was to Al Cont

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Two plays and I've decided I like Alcantara's defense at 2b

[Guest]

I can't wait for the future. I line up with Rizzo, Bryant, Baez, Castro, and Alcantara. and look at that defense.

[Guest]

Just pitch to him damn it.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Just pitch to him damn it.

 

That turned out more fun.
