If the guy is up for AAA competition, there's no reason for him to go to AA to pad his stats and make him and the team feel he's better than he is. I'd rather see him get challenged at AAA. If he falters, starting in AA it is. If not, he may be ready for the Show. I doubt that Sale being a SP next year set in stone either. Jenks and Thornton are FAs at the end of next season, Putz is a FA this season. He's working with Thigpen, sounds to me like he's being groomed to close. I could easily see him setting up and/or closing ballgames with the big club before the end of next year. That may annoy certain people that think using a high draft pick pitcher as a closer is wasteful, but if he can help the club and solidify the position for the next 5 years, then why not? |

Indeed he has busted out, Beckham is too talented to be held down for an entire season. It had nothing to do with "rushing" him, he was in an extended slump which can happen to players of all ages.

If I had a dollar for every prospect "too talented to fail" that wound up doing nothing in their career, I could probably quit my job right now.

Out of curiosity, who was the last one you thought that about? My biggest disappointment of the past 10 years continues to be Rauch, although he has seen some major league success.

Dioner Navarro? That's fringe big league talent. I still can't believe he made an all-star game.

You need to look as far as Yadier Molina and .220 average this season. And he started.
