With MLB Nerlens Noel Jersey Opening Day on Thursday, several teams are going through a major franchise inflection point. The Kansas City Royals, Detroit Tigers, and Seattle Mariners will begin the season with their top prospects on the 28-man roster, a departure from previous years of service manipulation from MLB teams toward their most touted players.Bobby Witt Jr. (No. 2 2019 pick), Spencer Torkelson (No. 1 2020 pick), and Julio Rodrguez (2017 international signing) have all made the Royals, Tigers, and Mariners rosters -- respectively. Here's a list of all the major names opening the season in the big leagues for the 2022 season.

Abrams (21) -- San Diego PadresLHP Reid Detmers (22) -- Los Angeles AngelsRHP Hunter Greene (22) -- Cincinnati RedsC Joey Bart (25) -- San Francisco GiantsLHP Nick Lodolo (24) -- Cincinnati RedsSS Bryson Stott (24) -- Philadelphia PhilliesOF Josh Lowe (24) -- Tampa Bay RaysRHP Joe Ryan (25) -- Minnesota TwinsRHP Matt Brash (23) -- Seattle Mariners Adley Rutschman will not start the season on the Orioles' MLB roster as he continues to rehab a right tricep injury. Rutschman finished last season on the Orioles' Double A team, the Bowie Baysox. While there he slugged .509 for 18 home runs. once Rutschman returns from his tricep injury, expect an extended stint at the Orioles' Triple-A team in Norfolk before he's on the roster officially. The rostering of Witt, Rodrguez, and Torkelson is encouraging. The Mariners and Tigers in particular are two teams looking to get competitive sooner rather than later, and Rodrguez and Torkelson ostensibly help them toward that end. As an international prospect, Rodrguez could have spent more time in Triple-A, and Torkelson was drafted just two years ago. Dennis Schroder Jersey However, these are still exceptions to an insidious rule. Teams have been manipulating service time since the advent of arbitration, with teams like the Orioles and Mariners having weaponized it to an almost scientific degree. Service time manipulation and arbitration wasn't addre sed in the recently-negotiated CBA, so expect to see the practice continue. The teams calling up these young players are hoping to compete, and the bad pre s around service time manipulation has made it a riskier endeavor as more fans pay attention. One sleeper pick to look out for is C.J. Abrams for the Padres, who has leveraged the unfortunate injury to Fernando Tatis Jr. into a can't-mi s Spring Training performance.Naturally Spring Training Nick Collison Jersey numbers don't mean much, but it's hard to ignore Abrams' slash line of .324/.361/.529 with a pair of home runs in 36 appearances. He does have 10 strike outs in those appearances so there are growing pains at the big-league level, but with his impre sive BABIP he's going to be hard to keep down if he keeps hitting as well as he is. The reality is Witt, Torkelson, Rodrguez, and Rutschman are prospects who are hard to ignore. They've played well at lower levels and done everything right, so keeping them down would be conspicuous. Being a Frank Jackson Jersey top-level draft pick might get you to "The Show" early, but people outside of the top-10 prospects may still find themselves "working on defense" in Triple-A ball.The Braves changed the game a bit by forgoing arbitration and signing Ronald Acua Jr. to an eight-year $100 million contract. Impre sive on the surface, but his $12.5 million AAV doesn't crack the top 20, which is crazy for a player of his talent level. Ozzie Albies was a similar case, as he signed a seven-year $35 million contract. Perhaps teams will follow this model of spending a lot of money up front after a trial run. But only time will tell.All we know for now is fans of the Royals, Tigers, Mariners, and other teams on this list win. They get to see their young prospects on Opening Day. Hopefully in Abdel Nader Jersey the future more teams will follow the trend.
