Just how long should players wait until they're called up? Why teams say they have baseball reasons for not bringing a player up. The risks in delaying calling up a top prospect. How teams can potentially be losing a couple weeks of play from an impact player. Evan along with Athletic baseball beat writers Patrick Mooney, Dennis Lin and Corey Brock chat about notable examples in recent years of service time manipulation.
