My guess is this year’s AA standouts will speed through AAA and come up to fill holes as the season wears on.
Sorry, just catching up.
I really hope not. This is a big reason we are where we are. Liberator was rushed to to cover Mo’s keister for Arozerena going on a tear for the Rays after the trade. (FA right handed hitting outfielder with power anyone, lol). Gorman and Walker, both pushed through the system, when they would have been MUCH better off learning to hit in the minors. Heck, Walker is less than a year older than JJ.
Please don’t rush the process. Next year is a loss already. (Okay, maybe Bill opens the wallet and signs Schwarber, Bellinger, Cease and Valdez, lol.) The next year is almost certainly a lockout of some duration. Let the process work.
