Granted, we're still a little less than 100ABs in, so I'm not that concerned as others with promotions this early. But you can work out getting Robert back, but it's this huge block. You either have those guys move up together and swallow up like sharks anyone developing too slow ahead of them, but also block anyoen developing fast behind them. Not the worst problem, but it sucks when you want to push someone and can't because of bodies, I don't reallyw ant that problem until they hit like AAA ideally.,

If he goes up to WinSalem and survives the leap, he becomes a real prospect. Joel booker seems to be the player to be moved up to Birmingham to make room for Gonzo. Booker will be 25 in august. Time to sink or swim with the big boys. There is no room at the inn until some other movement happens.

It's crazy to think they might have signed 2 future superstars in one class yet neither will be suiting up for them. But at the end of the day they broke the curse, and it's worth more than any prospect in baseball.

Unless they created a new 100 year curse by acquiring a scumbag like Chapman to win it all, and it that case it may not be worth it. ?
