September 1Sep 1 Will be interested to see how he responds to the type of raw and upper stuff type of pitching he will see there.
September 1Sep 1 To me, he's almost in the category of being too advanced to be worth sending there. But the position switch is a good justification to send him down there.

Obviously he could play second too, but not sure he has the arm strength for third or how often you would even sit Vargas/Bonemer/Colson there.Maybe a combo of Chone Figgins/Zobrist, without the topline speed or light tower pop.
