What is he going to learn in AAA that will get him ready for MLB? There is a huge difference in pitching. Even if he starts to rake in AAA again, it won't show that he's ready to be promoted. Is he working on pulling the ball with authority or pitch recognition? Did he have those issues prior to April? The Sox clearly either felt he was the most ready, or just wanted him up because he was the only guy who they could extend.
Dear Trevor Story,
I told everyone you'd be a 4 WAR player this year. What gives? Will you apologize to me? You have a 083 OPS in the 2nd half.
Get traded or move to 2b,

Give me a guy who averages better than a QS every time out.
Who did this happen to?
Campbell came up and hit fine. The league then caught up to him. If he stayed in AAA for 6 more months, the league would have just caught up to him at that point. He just needs to figure it out.
They are approximately 60k over the 5% threshold if every other pick gets slot (they won't). None of the other picks look like they'd be over slot by very much and a few look like they'd be under slot. Phillips, Eyanson and Witherspoon were the big signings for the class. Everyone else shouldn't be a problem.
This is the whole comment.
I don't think he was talking about rounds 3-10, because the picks we had in 3-10 ended up pretty good IMO for what you can expect. This year they even added Eyanson in round 3! That's why I figured it wasn't a round 3-10 comment.
