Actually it was a wise move by the Mets, one of the rare ones. They know his bat is ready for the MLB Level, but glove not and probably never will be anything but below average there. Still that bat is prodigious, which means huge money is in his future. by waiting for April 15th next year, they gain an extra year of service time. As for Super 2, I am betting they do not wait for the extra arbitration year and do in fact bring him up as soon as the service clock ticks like Acuna was this year.
I am hoping that my White Sox do the same with Eloy, but those rumors are starting again, as he is just tearing up AAA.
