Zac did a great job. I was hoping that if they are so concerned about limiting his innings this year they would have kept him on the big league club in the bullpen. I would certainly think he deserves a September call up. It is easy to forget what a big financial situtation this is for a player. Zac did not get a big signing bonus and minor leaguers (not otherwise on the 40 man roster) are barely paid enough to survive during the season. On the other hand, big league minimum is about $575000. If you figure a 26week season, that is about $22000 per week. I hear Zac is getting married soon, that money could sure help with the wedding plans. Most importantly, he showed he belongs in the big leagues. Aske Bryce harper and Ryan Braun. Come on Diamondbacks, bring him back up.

1. Wrong thread.
2. I don't really know how this stuff works, but some guys have big league contracts and some guys have minor league contracts. The guy who Zac(k) filled in for (I assume) has one of those big league contracts. Zack has a minor league contract. My guess is that that guy makes more money on IR or in the minors than Zack would. I think that at some point a guy who is up has to either get a big league contract (which costs the team money), or he has to go back down to the minors(which saves the team money). i don't know if they were approaching that zone, but that may have played into it. Someone with more insight into how this works, feel free to correct/clarify, but I have little doubt that the decision to send Zack down was at least in part due to the money.

Members on the 40 man roster make 500 k. When Godley got put on the 40 man, he immediately got a raise to 575 k a year.

So now I've done a tiny bit of research and I'm still not sure how all this works. This link gives a good breakdown of salaries at the various levels of the minor leagues. There is a separate minimum for players in the minors on the 40 man as opposed to big leaguers. I assume Zack made 507k (league minimum, yearly salary) for the 2 weeks he was up. Now I assume he has to be making a little more than the 40,750(2014) yearly salary. That link breaks down the monthly for the MiLB guys and has yearly for the 40 man and the MLB guys. I assume that these MiLB guys only get paid for the months they are playing. I also assume the yearly (for the 40 man and MLB Active) is not adjusted to match how long they are playing. So Zack got 2/52*507k= roughly $20k for his stay in the bigs. It sounds like thats probably close to the amount he has made for his entire MiLB career up to now.

That makes so much more sense and is soooo much better for players trying to make it up to the Show. I still am not 100 percent that the big league salary doesn't stick, but I am guessing it doesn't. That would make teams overly hesitant to bring guys up (in my overly simplified opinion).

Is Duncan Pence related to Hunter Pence, who plays for the San Francisco Giants?

Thanks for any information.

Godley would have received the pro-rated MLB minimum salary while he was up.

He no longer gets that in AA, but he does get a raise. The minimum salary for minor leaguers on their first contract who are on the 40-man roster is $41,400.

Andrew Schultz's name is Schultz. He has a prefect profile that would give you more information.

Both Linginfelter and Schultz attended the East Coast Pro in Tampa, Schultz with the Orioles and Linginfelter with the Cubs. Darling declined invite to rest his arm for New York tourney.

I found this interesting.

@JBrownPG: High end '17 talent coming off board in Touron & Ward. Just 10 players inside the @PerfectGameUSA Top 100 remain uncommitted.

Much faster pace to recruiting in baseball than in hoops and football

Yup. That's why you pretty much do have a "year zero" for baseball. Softball is worse!

I always thought Serrano needed to hit the juco trail more. Seems to be a good pickup. 187 total at bats with only 22 strike outs.
