But you need to leave them there long enough to determine if it's hot streak or if they are truly not challenged, 100-150 ABs isn't a good determination. They may see the same team twice in 100-150 ABs, you aren't getting a true chance to see the teams adjust to the player and vice versa.
I agree with you on Albies, and as I said none of the moves we made this year are bad at all. Having Allard and Soroka at AA is a good thing, Acuna would have started there anyway if he hadn't had the injuries, and Weigel needs to be in AAA at his age range. But all of them need to stay where they are at for the duration of the year now that they are there.
I don't really care as much about players flying through A and A+ ball, but I think it's really important players spend almost a full season at AA or AAA, or at least somewhere along the line they need to have a season where they get 400+ ABs at a level or around 20 starts at one level to give them a full taste of what it's going to be like playing a full season in the pros. Otherwise I don't think the player really has time to get challenged fully.
Our biggest offensive disappointments over the last 15 years would be Heyward and Frenchy, and both were bull rushed through the minors to the majors (and Swanson was rushed up while he was actually being challenged in AA). I think that hurt their ability to adjust once they hit the majors, because they never learned in the minors. It may not have mattered long term at all, but it certainly didn't help. On the flip side Freddie and Mac got moved much more slowly through levels overall, and have been much more consistent overall. Correlation doesn't equal causation per se, but I think the little things help. At the very least I see zero reason to not give the players plenty of time just in case it helps, particularly when we suck anyway.
