Oh FFS. If you are not going to start Lopez out early in the year, at least wait a *little* while longer to bring him up. 2nd to 3rd week of May is generally around the time of the Super 2 cutoff. If the Royals waited until the end of May or beginning of June he would be virtually guaranteed not to get the arbitration a year early.
Still possible he misses it, but if he doesn't, and you bring him up a week early and it costs the team a few million dollars, or if he's a star he leaves a year early, that's dumb.
