I get that argument when people make it, but that's not how I'm going about this if I'm the person in charge.
You have a real finite amount of time that you have the best pitcher in baseball that leads what looks like a pretty promising staff that if it sacrifices something in the year 2032 โ
I'm not going to worry about it.
If Connor Griffin gives the Pirates the best chance to win and you have to sacrifice a year because of that, I'm not going to be concerned.
I think it should be treated the same way that they treated Paul Skeens, where they brought him up, and I know that wasn't opening day.
but they brought him up in May, and since he won the Rookie of the Year, that year went away anyway.
Ideally, that's what Connor Griffin does, no?
Ideally, they bring the guy up, and you could bring him up on March 26th, you could bring him up on June 26th.
If the guy wins the Rookie of the Year...
That goes away anyway.
Top two.
And then who knows if Skeens is even around.
Well yeah.
That's an entirely different.
Yeah, he has to look lost.
He has to look like he just does not match up to any of the major league pitching that they put in front of him.
But the guy in every other hurdle he has had to jump over to get to this point,
Not only has he done fine, the guy has shredded at every single level.
He has been the best player on the field every single time he has taken it at every stop he's made so far.
I was hoping that they would have him play a little bit in AAA last season.
