Why isn't he a hitter?

[Michael 3,065]

... I didn't know you could do that, actually. Does Pop then have to be on our MLB roster all season?

Yeah I believe he has to.

Technically he is still a hitter until the NL officially adopts the DH.

Hey @taiwanmarlin look the Marlins added both pop and bullpen help at the same time!

I know how this went down... Kim Ng called the DBacks asking if they could get back the HOF pitcher that Mike Hill traded to Arizona last year, in a hurry Kim just said "That pitcher, Zach something..." and the DBacks sent over Zach Pop instead of Zac Gallen.

[SilverBullet 3,085]

So, serious question now, in a deal like this, is this one of those prearranged trades where the Marlins told the Dbacks to draft Pop to complete this trade? Or did the Dbacks draft Pop without the Marlins knowledge and then the Marlins came calling for the trade? I'm pretty sure this is a Marlins-led draft pick that Arizona just facilitates for them to complete this trade. Not sure why Arizona would waste a draft pick here but we shall see.

So here's the best thing about this:

 

he's good.

 

Here's the second best thing about it:

If he pitches well, we can say he gave the bullpen some pop.

If he doesn't, we can call him Zach Poop.

Could this garner more for Arizona?  Wouldn't they get a player with higher value than a rule 5 player?

[CyggyMarlin 586]

Oh snap! I hope his fastball has a little crackle to it

Not necessarily. Could be a low minors player that we gave up.

Yeah and that’s probably the trade off for being able to have the option to keep the player down in the minors while they develop instead of being forced to use a roster spot on the Rule 5 guy

I was hoping to see some of Taiwanmarlins takes in this thread.  Hope our message board workhorse didn't gallop away for good.

It's just ridiculous some people think the full of the 40-man roster would limit this team to further upgrade the roster, didn't they know the team could remove someone from the 40-man at any time ?

Is his last name Soda when he's outside of the midwest states?
