I have more faith in the farm system than Ben. Ben seems smart, but I believe ownership directed him to sign AGon 2.0 and Crawford 2.0 this offseason. Not sure if he is allowed to make any calls on his own.
True, but they aren't losing because of the young guys. They are losing because of overpaid vets like Napoli, Porcello, Victorino, Craig, Sandoval, Ramirez, Buchholz, Breslow, etc.
What part of a .728 OPS makes you think he should be brought up? He's no different than Travis Shaw right now. I'd leave him in AAA and give him a shot next year.
People don't know about him because IT'S HIS FIRST YEAR IN THIS SYSTEM AND RANKED ONLY 42ND BEST PROSPECT IN SAID SYSTEM. I can't fault anyone for not knowing the garbage that lies past our top prospects. It's not worth the time and effort.
