    They stopped 'rushing' Albies when he got to AAA. And Dansby never even saw AAA. They've treated everyone differently, though with an overall aggressive approach.

    Bet you $1 Albies is in Atlanta this season, despite the current log jam on the infield that has their former top prospect riding the pine.

    Even if so, he's still spent an entire year in AAA.

    One of the primary reasons Anderson was drafted. He's been great.

    Lugbauer now tied for the lead in HRs in the Appalachian League. Strikes out quite a bit, but it seems when he hits it, it stays hit. They've played him at C, 1B and 3B. Hope he can cut down the Ks and find a position.

    I like the idea of calling a rotation a "rotato" (pronounced like potato)

    They've been much more cautious with the 2016 draftees then they were with Soroka. Wentz has averaged less than 5 innings per start and they may not want to have him leapfrog High A. Of course, they jumped Allard aggressively, so I may be dead wrong in my assessment. Wentz has been solid.

    I think he and Wilson could go to AA but he has had different health issues (dead arm) so they want him to gain strength without setbacks. I don't think it will matter which league he is in but likely on a pitch count in any of them.

    True. I think the injury thing for Wentz will be what keeps him out of AA next season, at least at the beginning. Very encouraging season regardless.

    Not sure we can say Acuna was rushed. He's already showing flashes of brilliance at AAA. It all depends on the adjustments he makes regarding K's. It's kinda early and he reduced his rate at Miss really quickly after adjusting.

    Wentz and Wilson both need to be top 10 prospects in the system.

    Was curious why he fell. His raw power in college was impressive. Guess it's the K tendencies. All or nothing type guy at the moment.

    I don't see why not. He's been every bit as good as allard/soroka were in Rome and is slightly older at the same time.

    Hard to say who drops. So many deserving candidates.

    Anderson's stuff is quite a bit better than Wilson's.

    The reports on Andersons stuff has been elite though. Not sure we should be quick to displace him.
