Bold prediction, Ny. Carlson would need to have a hellacious 2019 to jump so many levels and players to force his way onto the 40-man early, let alone start in the St. Louis outfield next season. If he gets on that pace, it would be a fun 2019 to watch. Personally, I am not there yet.
CC, I suspect most of us have leaned into the wind as to predicting Carlson’s emerging power. Like I have written before, I think it would be great to see him play in an age-appropriate league to learn what he can really do. Though that will not happen in Double-A, the environment is much more conducive to hitting than the FSL.
