I guess...

I have to retract my tweet about Canadians not sitting for broken nails. Fantastic debut run. Looking forward to late March.

I assume he already has too many PA's to qualify for rookie status next year?

by Defense Counts! on Sep 21, 2011 7:18 PM EDT reply actions

150 abs

so he’ll still be a rookie i believe

by luckiswithme on Sep 21, 2011 7:29 PM EDT up reply actions

Nope

limit is 130

by gabrielsyme on Sep 21, 2011 7:38 PM EDT up reply actions

Isn't it 131 up to Sept 1?

I believe he still qualifies.

Nope.

A player shall be considered a rookie unless, during a previous season or seasons, he has (a) exceeded 130 at-bats or 50 innings pitched in the Major Leagues; or (b) accumulated more than 45 days on the active roster of a Major League club or clubs during the period of 25-player limit (excluding time in the military service and time on the disabled list).

Nothing about September 1.

(b) accumulated more than 45 days on the active roster of a Major League club or clubs during the period of 25-player limit

Would imply September 1.
Regardless, correct, he would not be a rookie next year.

"The AL Beast" was an intelligent pun the first time it was used. That time was not at any point in the last 5 years.

I guess, but that's part b)

Sucks

Silver linings, though – a few more at-bats for Loewen and Cooper. EE could help his value if he handles 3B well for the final week and a half.

Guess it's a good thing he wasn't carrying the Jays to the postseason, then

The ball is attracted to him

Too much.
