I'm just saying that they moved this kid up like he's Ken griffey Jr or Alex Rodriguez. I know everybody is excited by him, but temper expectations a bit.
STHU what....nobody was comparing him to Griffey or ARoid. There was/still is every reason to be excited about this kid.

Would you please explain why you said he was ready for the show on April 25? I haven't seen you address that yet.

Bregman is 22 years old and was destroying triple A, why was it too early? What's the rush to judge these guys? His 1-16 or whatever it is, is essentially meaningless as was Tyler White's 6hr in his first 2 weeks. Nobody was comparing him to Griffey or Arod but to say he can't be an all world talent because of the fist 6 games is just flat out dumb. Wasnt Tony Kemp supposed to replace Altuve? Let him work it out.
He wasn't called up early enough. He was destroying minor league pitching. You don't get user to major league pitching without face ML pitching. It would have been nice if they bough him during one of his hot streaks.
