I had thought all offseason that it would be April 20.  But now that Olt and La Stella are both hurt, it's going to be the first day where they gain an extra year--this Friday, April 17.

Jesse Rogers notes the following:

One more factor to consider is an end-of-season tie for the playoffs. That would extend the regular season up to several days adding service time to Bryant potentially giving him a full year if he comes up this Friday. As slim as that possibility is -- combined with the trend of starting rookies on the road -- it makes his debut more likely to happen next week at the earliest.

Like Theo hasn't thought of that, right?  A Cubs tie for the playoffs, extending Bryant's regular season service time opportunities.  We can't have that.

So, forget about Friday or this weekend.

A reasonable decision.  One week this year is not more valuable than a full year later on.

Just don't put him on the post-season roster.  I'm sure that wouldn't cause a grievance.

Predict the uniform number for Kris Bryant.

He wore 23 in college but that's retired.  He wore #76 this spring. Lowest number that's not assigned is #6.  I'm guessing they give him number 12.
