The blurb you posted answers your question for you. He has accrued more than five full seasons by this definition, since it covers Major League and Minor League roster time.

Before anyone asks: no.

That's generally what people say when they don't actually have any (good) options. Similar thing happens in the film industry: a film without distribution will debut at a film festival like Sundance and it won't get any significant offers during or right after the festival. Months later, someone acquires it for an undisclosed sum, and the financiers/producers issue a press release saying that they took their time due to a "bidding war". In 99% of those cases, they got shit offers or no-money-upfront offers and they eventually just caved and took what was on the table.

You can't really tell from the CF camera. Don't know why they haven't shown a side angle.

...and a pretty good SS, too.

Oh, Jon...

Wow, hate to say it, but that was another good catch by Judge.

Wow, Urshela ties it up after a balk!

No.

This isn't 2019.

I kinda hope the Angels lose now.

7.

He was distracted by the runners on base.

Oh, sorry: was it College University instead of University College?

Don't you think there's probably a reason he's still a free agent? From what I've read/seen, his velocity was still way down in his workouts. If no one has signed him yet, there must be major red flags.

Yes, but at University College, were any runners ever actually on base?

True! Ha. And don't get me wrong: I wish Ward was hitting better, too. But overall, the offense has been pretty good.

They are 5th in the AL in runs scored.

Trout had a 1.013 OPS with runners on in 2022 and a .959 OPS in late/close situations.

They're 5th in the AL in runs per game.
