March 13, 201412 yr There's little doubt IMO that both Davidson & Semien start the year in AAA. Each guy should get 2 to 3 months of seasoning while they attain an extra year of service time. Meanwhile, Gillaspie & Beckham get one last opportunity to prove they can be good major league starters. If not, they either get shipped out for peanuts prior to the deadline or moved into backup roles, while Semien & Davidson assume their starting positions. If somehow Conor or Gordon shows something positive, then you have a great problem on your hands. Regardless, I see no downside to having things play out in such a way. The worst thing we could do is bring up Davidson & Semien too early and force them into a reserve/platoon role. Both need consistent playing time whether it be in AAA or the major league level. And quite frankly, an extra year of team control would be a nice bonus.
