    I get that I don't know as much about these players as the FO, but I cannot fathom how they see him being ready given his uneven AA performance. Did they confuse his and Albies' performance?

    JC is fond of saying the prospects will tell him when they are ready. I guess he woke up to an email from Dansby.

    Regardless of what they say, Ozzie has been better. And I'm a Swanson fan!

    I think it is stupid to bring him up now, but I am excited to see him in Atlanta. I laughed when Dansby said he looked forward to playing in Turner Field one day, but he proved me wrong. I wish him a great six weeks to end the season.

    I don't get it. It must be because the FO thinks it will boost attendance.

    How does this effect his contract/control?

    Is he Super 2 now?

    This is a move that the organization will pay for over the next decade. This move is astonishingly stupid. STUPID I say! These morons up in the front office are so freaking clueless. You don't have to make this move right now. He's not ready.

    Congrats to the kid, excited to see him play tomorrow. But I can't understand starting his clock already.

    I don't know for sure how he will do, but I really hope his performance makes you all look silly.

    If he is going to start the year in Atlanta next year, this does not affect service time at all if I am not mistaken.

    Wouldn't calling him up now and calling him up opening day next year effect his clock the same? Will someone correct me if I'm wrong but to gain an extra year he'd have to be in the minors to start next year.

    It doesn't matter that they called him up now. He's still under control until 2022. If they had waited until opening day next year to call him up he would be under control until.....drum roll.....2022.

    Let's get it.
