not one of them had a line like Vladdy has this year.
And? They were all clearly elite hitters in AAA and obviously ready for the majors and held down specifically for the sole purpose of manipulating service time.
But yeah, I guess Jimenez only has a 175 wRC+ in AAA, Torres was only at 145 last year (for a SS), Bryant was just 164, and Acuna 162. I'm sure those guys will be totally understanding when negotiating with their teams because they all understand they just weren't quite ready yet.
