I'll be honest, if the Jays are counting on the Cuban kid to help them in the next 3-4 years...they might want to have some sort of plan

9 errors in 40 games in High A = 30+
He was hitting .193 with no power.

They promoted him to Double-A. That quite honestly is the most asinine promotion I've seen in a long time in the minors. There was *NOTHING* to suggest he was capable of succeeding in High-A; much less a higher level.

If he's still putting those numbers up this time next year, I'll be worried. Until then, who cares? - Name Withheld By Request Jul 14, 12:32 1
- Anyone following the kid should. If he's the next chosen one; you've lost 3-4 years on him at best. - Will Hunting Jul 14, 12:34
To a larger point, I don't understand how a team that is out of contention trades a pitching prospect that good. - David Jul 14, 12:03 2
- 'cause he's a *relief* pitching propsect. - musubi Jul 14, 12:27
