Enough with the same Austin Hays question. 3 straight chats with the same exact question. I’m sure Hays is good, but it’s a boring, meaningless question and a waste of time(unless you’re austin hays).
Sorry. Didn’t get a chance to read the previous couple chats.
I know I’m a yankees fan but Alonso better than judge? C’mon
“What’s bad about it? Less service-time manipulation? He was clearly MLB-ready. I applaud the Padres for having him on the team from the outset.”
Was Kris Bryant not “clearly MLB-ready” in 2015? How about Ronald Acuña in 2018? What’s bad about it is Preller gave away a full season of a 20 y/o All Star for basically nothing.
I get where you’re coming from, but I thought it was a refreshing decision by the Padres.
They can always send him to the minors for a month to “work” on something.

Bottom line, the time to do that was at the beginning of the season before he had proven that he belonged in the majors.
