    You keep pushing this scenario... but it's a counterfactual that can't be proven or disproven either way.

    Indeed. Prospect promotion is very much an inexact science.

    But he could have cost the team games. You've got to give your team the best chance to win.

    Most people struggle early. I also don't think Bregman gained much in his AAA experience, other than making more believers around the country and soaring up prospect rankings.

    Again, like I just said. Inexact science. But I do believe all players need time to adjust. Everything is different in the big leagues. The jump is exponential compared to advancing within the minors.

    Do you think AJ Reed cost this team games in his initial stint?

    I feel like some credit has to be given to the pitchers he's faced so far.

    Yeah go read the post I responded to and get back to me. The guy said "he's going to get shelled tomorrow" and that was my response.
