Breaking: Colt promoted to Tacoma

[Vogelbomb]

isn't it late in the season? What's it mean? They can't put him in AA again next season? They are now basically committed to promoting him next season?

No, he can still go back down to AA to start next year. This is a 1-wk promotion to help Tacoma through its postseason.

But those AA numbers are legit. He's not going to be in AA long if he keeps that up to start next year. He's going to be ready early 2027.

okay that seems reasonable to me, like ford getting called up to the Mariners. and they could have explained it to him that way. again, I am not that familiar with the minors but as i understand it AAA is not a development league, its primarily for stashing depth for the ML club. A true prospect might pass through but you wouldn't have him there all season. But i could be entirely wrong, there very well could be prospects that spent a season there

I don't know much about it but I thought in terms of development it was. An elite prospect spending an entire season in AAA

I have made it clear that I don't think he is close to being elite. He is a Carlos Guillen or JP Crawford imo.

We know. You also ragged on Ford throughout his 4-yr development. Just because you think he's something doesn't make it so

JP crawford was in fact an elite prospect, he was number 5 on MLB rankings in 2016. I don't think they spend a year in AAA but i could be wrong

I think he should spend next year at AA. I'd rather he wasn't a phone call away at Tacoma.

yeah, AA is where the talent is, so it seems he could still be there next season even with this promotion, that is what I am curious about

Yes I did and Ford was great in Tacoma just like Lockler and Cade Marlow and Jose Marmalelos was. Wake me up when they let Ford start a MLB game.

I am hearing that Tacoma needs an INFer. This might be a nothing burger.

And it gives him another week (or however long it is) of plate appearances.
