Adam Frazier called up

[CadaverDawg]

Surprised, and pumped for him. Always loved watching that guy play. Well deserved

 

[patdog]

Saw his AAA stats a week or 2 ago and figured he wouldn't stay down much longer. He was just tearing that league up.

 

[The Maroon Pug]

He is still with the Pirates right?

 

[dawgstudent]

Yes

 

[Mafiadawg]

What position will he play in the mlb or will he be a utility?

 

[MSUDC11]

Awesome. Renfroe can't be far behind.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

nm

 

[MaroonNation]

Just got his first hit too

 

[RocketDawg]

When a player gets called up to the Majors, does his salary immediately increase substantially or does he have to wait a while? Does it decrease when/if he has to return to the minors?

I remember the AA players we had usually had a second job to make ends meet, so they must not have made very much.

 

[patdog]

He gets the pro-rated MLB minimum for each day he's in the majors. So about $2,500-$3,000 per day.

Think they also get a meal allowance (at least when on the road). Remember article in CL (don't shoot me) about a local guy who got short term call up for the Braves and his meal money was going to $250 a day. This was maybe 10 years ago

 

[patdog]

I think it's more like $100/day. Still not bad though. Especially when you get 1 meal free in the clubhouse every day.
