Meh. Give it a week for the service time issue. I'll rejoin the complaining after then.

The service time thing is bull**** in this case. This team is "all in", and given the state of the division and the state of the Sox offense, they need to get somebody to help now. |

Meh. I'm okay with delaying his free agency, especially since his agent is Boras. I'll take that extra year.

I don't think this is a service time issue at all...I think it's an Ozzie issue. Even if he came up now he would not accrue enough service time to void his 2012 contract for $2.5M(and Sox would have to exercise a $3.5M option). And the Sox would still have him under team control through 2014.

The early July cutoff date mentioned is such that Viciedo doesn’t finish this season with more than 1 year of service time. If his call-up is delayed it allows the Sox to avoid that 1 year of service before he becomes a full-time 25-man player. This will postpone his free agency by one year. 6 full years of service time is required to be eligible for free agency. One year of service equates to 172 days. Dayan's stay in the bigs last year earned him 83 days. Thus, 89 days is the maximum the organization can allow Viciedo to earn in 2011. 89 days is just under three months, which why the early July date is being bandied about. |

The Quentin, Griffey, and Dye trio we started for a handful of games in 08 would certainly be worse

To my knowledge, Dayan Viciedo has not accumulated any major league service time. If the Sox call up Viciedo at the All-Star break, then the Sox should control his rights the rest of this year and six more years after that. Is that correct?

I'm OK with the service time issue- an extra year of Viciedo is worth waiting an extra week or two- this is a deeply flawed team- so while this move will help- it doesn't address other major issues, like Dunn, Rios and Beckham and our thin bullpen from the right handed side after Santos and Crain.
KW's comments about "my manager isn't ready"- clearly put this on Ozzie- hopefully he "gets it" soon.

Hahn has directly stated that both Dayan and Alexei are under club control for their first 6 years of MLB service time.

I too am OK with Viciedo getting more time in Charlotte, due to the service time issue and the agent.
Given that I don't get the sense that this team is good/consistent enough to make the playoffs, I also don't see the rush. Why make [another] rash decision when the goal of the playoffs seems unlikely? |

If they were in the AL East, sure...it'd be unlikely. But the Tigers and Indians are no better than the SOX. Viciedo will be playing almost everyday within the next couple weeks.

But most of all, I don't see either team as cowardly surrender monkeys to the twins, or for that matter, the rest of the ALC, as the SOX are. This, coupled with the sub-.500 home record are the two prime reasons why I have my doubts about this year's chances for our SOX. Great. We can see him perform for a 3rd place team, unless KW can find another hunk of **** in AZ to trade for. |
