    You sub-6' people keep posting in this thread about your height keeps making me think something finally broke and he's being called up. Getting flashbacks to Correa last year. Ah well.

    I keep refreshing this thread waiting for the call up. Would it be unreasonable to be mad if he's not here this weekend? Wouldn't make any sense.

    Hope he lives up to the hype! ;) So much hype, so little production from some other call-ups. 'No pressure' Mr. Bregman!

    Didn't think it would happen, but I'm starting to think they might be trading him

    There is ZERO reason to promote Tucker and leave Bregman in the minors. I know Luhnow loves him some development time but the kid can't do much more down there

    You don't trade that type of talent, especially when u have 3 free agents in your line ups. Gomez, Rasmus, and Valbuena are gone next year.

    I want our bregman now! I've only gotten like this for correa. Bregman would have gotten ROY.
    Charlie P is good radio when he throws his snark at what they're waiting for with this kid.

    His Twitter says, "back to Fresno..."

    Does not make sense.

    Unless it's for Trout or Sale I'm not moving him and if he's not being traded than it makes this whole thing even dumber. Frustrated.

    I agree

    But you don't leave him in the minors when you are fighting for a playoffs spot and need offense either

    Hinch had mentioned at the ASB that they haven't seen how he would respond to struggles. If I'm Alex I might intentionally strike out a bit for the next week then start ripping the ball again, and tweet "seems I can overcome a slump"

    Yep, certainly can't lose Brad Peacock just to get a potential stud in the lineup
