Re: Jonathan Lucroy - Tracking His Preaux Career
I'm not sure how pro contracts/retirement works, maybe he is marking time. I still feel when Luc hangs it up, one day contract with the Brewers.Originally Posted by HelmutVII

Re: Jonathan Lucroy - Tracking His Preaux Career
I am not sure why he would want to hang them up when someone is willing to pay him to play a game. Sign me up now.
I am not sure how retirement works in MLB either, but I am pretty sure it is based on years of service.

Re: Jonathan Lucroy - Tracking His Preaux Career
Lucroy was at 9.136 years MLB service time before he season started. 10 years MLB time gets a player fully vested into the very lucrative retirement program and is a huge badge of honor for MLB guys. Less than 100 MLB guys have 10 years in at any one time.
Since he spent little time on an active roster this year, he will likely do what is needed to find a spot for next year. He had offseason neck surgery to fix a disk that hurt him the past three years. He has an invite to Phillies spring training. He is still a very serviceable back-up option for many teams.

Re: Jonathan Lucroy - Tracking His Preaux Career
thats what i was thinking. thanks for,the data.
the biggest question is (for all players) did days from last day of spring training until the first actually played game (july25th or so?) count towards service time?

Re: Jonathan Lucroy - Tracking His Preaux Career
Players get full credit service time in 2020. 1 day on the roster = 2.8 days service time.

Re: Jonathan Lucroy - Tracking His Preaux Career
sorry just to clarify. that mean they get a full year if on the roster for the 60 games, my question was do they get service time if they had been on roster since spring training, for apr may jun, etc. even if off roster before 60 games started? or maybe after game two or three?

Re: Jonathan Lucroy - Tracking His Preaux Career
my understanding is service time is awarded for reg season and playoff games only.
