You want to hold him down the entire year? Which would obviously also include at least the first couple weeks of next year...and since he's down that long, might as well hold him past the Super 2 deadline in 2018.

Isn't Ozzie "performing well" at AAA?

Wait a second, you can judge players performance without using WAR?

It's a joke only people who visited the mets scout forum years ago will get. So probably only thethe.
That's exactly what I want them to do, and it's exactly what they should have done with Swanson. The extra year of control is the main issue, I'm not too concerned with Super 2.
Albies has an OPS of .785 in AAA. He is doing well, but he isn't exactly knocking down the door in AAA.
Moncada is currently destroying AAA. Kris Bryant obliterated AA and AAA in 2014 before being called up a couple weeks into 2015.
Albies and Swanson are/were not forcing their way onto the MLB roster. It was monumentally stupid to promote Swanson, and it will be equally stupid to promote Albies.

Wait..
so a guy who has a career line of .289/.396/.483/.879 with a 29% K-rate at 22 is 'Killing it'
and a guy who has a career line of .310/.375/.421/.796 with a 15% k-rate at 20 is doing 'well'

It's not about maximizing service time.
The Braves want to be solid this year and in the playoffs next year. You can laugh......fine. But they don't want everyone good on the team not named FF to be playing their first inning after the Super 2 deadline in 2018.
They want Swanson up and the leader of these young guys.
They will want Ozzie to have some at bats under him before the 2018 meaningful season starts.
They will probably try and get at least one of Newcombe, Weigel and Fried to get their first start over with and get some experience.

I agree that it is better to "stagger" the callup of your best prospects rather than doing it all in the same year. But to my mind the benefits of that are second order compared to the benefits of having contractual control over peak productive years rather than "learning" years.
Yes, an OPS difference of ~80 points is the difference between "killing it" and "doing well".
Since you obviously don't understand how large of a spread that is...
Last year, an OPS of .879 was good for 24th in the game. An OPS of .796 ranked 72nd.
I would say ranking 72 out of 146 is "doing well", and ranking 25 out of 146 is "killing it".

I would disagree, factoring age and contact ability. I think Ozzie is doing exactly what he is supposed to do. get on base and play solid defense and not strike out.. Moncada is doing what he is supposed to do.. slug the ball, get on base, and play average defense.. Both will be in the Majors this year.

Preferably in September or at least after the braves have traded Phillips for a decent asset. Depending on injuries or needs some team might be looking for a 2b or bench bat.

Monumentally stupid. You really can't make this stuff up.
Let's hope not.

For real. Hoping he can win Gwinnett a few titles.
