Homer Time?

[gametime]

Not yet, but this is a line I've been waiting for...

 

 

7+ IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 9 K and 100 pitches...

What do you know about the whole Super 2 thing GT?

Huh???

[HammerTime]

Huh???

Homer is what they call a "Super 2" after he is brought up he only has 2 years until he is arbitration elgiable and if they do it before the All-Star break this year it will count for one year. Most of the time it is 3 years correct. I haven't heard a straight forward answer from anyone about this or if it is even true.

[gametime]

If they bring him up before July 1 there is a chance it will burn one of the three years. It would mean he's up to stay over the next 2 2/3 seasons though...

[HammerTime]

Well thats the best answer I have heard so far. No one knows about that for some reason( the Super 2 thing that is).

Here's what I can gather re: Super 2.

 

Its for players who :

 

have 2 years experience but less than 3

have 86+ days experience in the previous season

are in the top 17% of all 2 year players in service time.

 

So, I don't think anyone who has not played in the majors yet is considered Super 2.

Just to clear up the numbers. He went 7 scoreless and gave up 2 hits to start the 8th. Coffey came in and couldn't hold one of the stranded runners. Through 7 he threw 96 pitches (73 Strikes, 23 Balls)..

McBeth got the save...

Also a guy I've been following since last year Johnny Cueto will be starting for the Bats tomorrow. 21 and already up to AAA ball...

The Super 2 this refers to the fact that he will be up for arbitration after 2 years if they brought him up now, I don't know why he qualifies as such.

[98NCCalum]

I did some digging, this is what I found.

 

Per an article by John Fay

 

If the Reds were to bring up Bailey anytime soon, there's a good chance he'd be a "Super Two" in 2009 and not need that third full year to qualify for arbitration.

 

The cutoff date for Super Twos usually falls around July 1.

 

"Forget all that," Krivsky said. "We're trying to win games."

 

What do you want to bet Homer is brought up middle of July?

[LRCW]

. Coffey came in and couldn't hold one of the stranded runners.

 

 

That sure doesn't sound like Coffey. :sssh: :lol:

[letabrotherspeak]

I guess he needs to throw a couple of no-hitters to prove his worth.

At least he is up in innings pitched.

He or Dumatrait need to get Saarloos's spot.

From what's been said down here...the Reds know he could win some games now...but he can't right the ship himself...they are willing to let him further season himself donw here....to assure his success in the bigs...I actually think it is a great decision...and us Louisvillian's certainly don't want to see him go just yet.
