We need to make sure we don't forget the rule changes last year. The PPI picks are no joke and why Tork was on the opening day roster, and why Greene would have been, so Avila not being into manipulation isn't why Tork got the call.
Those PPI picks, ironically, may keep some players who emerged this year down until September so teams can potentially cash in on their prospect eligibility. The only reason to hold Malloy down is to keep him from Super 2 in 2026, and I'm not sure he is of the caliber that you need to worry about that. I just think he legitimately needs to work on his defense, and that is something box score scouting is not going to be able to suss out.
