March 18, 201511 yr QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Mar 18, 2015 -> 06:12 PM) I think that we may have all collectively made him up. I'm not entirely sure he isn't just a subconscious/groupthink-related psychological coping mechanism that arose from the complete lack of pitching talent we had in the minors. Now that Rodon is around, we're not "seeing things" anymore. oh man that is funny .... way to be very creative.

I wonder if they want an extended look before they assign him to high A or AA. Personally I'd start him in high A he's still young for AA and he'll be in Birmingham by July unless he totally falls back anyways.
March 19, 201511 yr Absolutely love that Hawkins is still getting PT. Got to be a big time confidence booster for the kid. I hope when is does get assigned down, he mashes in AA.
March 19, 201511 yr You can bet coming off this spring and knowing their tendency to be aggressive with promotions that Hawkins will begin the season in BIRM.

March 19, 201511 yr Hopefully he can have another good year and get himself into ~top 100 prospect status.
