    No. This is simply the recognition that he is in fact an MLB prospect and not an MLB level player. He may progress to that point and he may not. We have not seen enough of him to even guess about his future.

    How long did it take Bregman or Tucker to look "ready"? Give Brice some time. Let him learn.

    Most young prospects struggle initially after being called up. Jac Caglianone, Jackson Holiday, Junior Caminero, and Cole Young all come to mind. The likelihood Brice is going to be good over the next 2-3 weeks is very low.

    On a side note, that’s what makes Cam so special. The fact he never looked overwhelmed is not normal.

    yes, my point is we don't know yet. The great thing about the MLB is, doesn't matter what round you're drafted out of. Hopefully Brice excels.
