This is premature, and I normally hate this kind of jumping the gun stuff when it spewed from my brain to the keyboard but I think he is our Soto/Acuna jr. The skills are all there but I love the guys mentality and brain you can't teach that stuff.

Re: Minor League Updates
I don't want to rush him. Start him in AA next year then possibly move him to AAA to end the season. Maybe start him in AAA in 2021 and move him up midseason when he's 21
Re: Minor League Updates
I understand that notion and if he hits a speed bump sure that what will happen but Soto went from A to A+ to AA to the majors in one season, that was last year. I don't think we see that progression from Julio but if he is ready he is ready.Hasslecracked wrote: ↑Fri Oct 11, 2019 3:30 pmI don't want to rush him.

Re: Minor League Updates
My biggest fear is we have tried doing that with players and it's ended with epic failure (Ackley, Zunino)
Re: Minor League Updates
Im no Jerry fan but I don't think he would rush a player ahead of schedule just for the sake of it.Hasslecracked wrote: ↑Fri Oct 11, 2019 3:38 pmMy biggest fear is we have tried doing that with players and it's ended with epic failure (Ackley, Zunino)
Re: Minor League Updates
I already did, although I did put in a caveat.

Kelenic definitely seems more introverted. Julio wil be the vocal leader, heck, even if he makes it next year at 19 (and Im predicting he plays in September if he stays healthy) he'll probably be the vocal leader then. It's not like Seager or Haniger are that type.

Griffey and Arod turned out ok. Its the player not the process.Hasslecracked wrote: ↑Fri Oct 11, 2019 3:38 pmMy biggest fear is we have tried doing that with players and it's ended with epic failure (Ackley, Zunino)
