If you believe he's truly "special", and Luhnow has hinted that he won't have a problem promoting somebody who's on that sort of trajectory, then he has an outside shot. Otherwise, he's on the "Springer" track where he spends this year at AA and AAA... and then the first month of next season at AAA before getting a callup. Then again, he's behind half a season due to the injury... perhaps the original timeline was after super-2 this year, but its now delayed due to the injury.
No chance, it would have bounced back to Lowrie. This Kubel guy is pretty good. No way Stros get a hit today.
I'll settle for simply some hard hit balls. There have been two today... Springer in the 1st and Carter in the 5th.
