Lane Adams second hit, a two RBI single in the 9th walks off G-Braves 7-6. He had 3 RBI's total and also stole a base in the game.
Some of you have warped ideas on how development works. These kids aren't robots. Leaving them down in the minors too long can have a negative effect too. You don't learn to hit Syndergaard by facing AAA pitching. If anything being in the majors speeds up their development. Unless the time in the majors shatters their confidence it's not hurting them. Prospects in the high minors know they are close. Sometimes they try too hard to hit well enough to get a call up and struggle. Then never regain their original form.
The minor league's don't work like video games where prospects just continually progress because they are in the minors.

Good question.
Chipper spent one year, 536 PA.
Freddie spent one year 461 AB
Albies currently has 280 AB.
....
I think Ensceff thinks we should leave Albies down till he becomes a power hitter, but he's likely to exceed the at bats Chipper and Freeman around the deadline or perhaps earlier.
But, I would have left Swanson down last season (probably would have brought up Camargo first, honestly, if I had to bring someone up) and don't see any reason to bring Albies up until the roster spot opens naturally.
It didn't. Those are also generational hitters like Arod and Griffey before them. I think the Altuve comp gets thrown around because they play the same position and have speed. Altuve has more power and Albies will play better defense (hopefully). How it all shakes out we will have to see.
I honestly only like rushing prospects that are undeniably phenomenal hitters. Or if there is an absolute position of need on a contending team. Otherwise it's wiser to just wait for multiple reasons.
We just won't ever know that. It's easy to point to those that skipped AAA and didn't fully realize their potential and say, 'That's because they skipped AAA.' It would be the same thing as taking a guy like Brian McCann, who had success and skipped AAA, and saying, 'That's because he skipped AAA.'
