Per Bowman. I get doing this, not sure why they benched him the past few weeks.
As much as I have enjoyed their process for acquiring talent, I can't stand the way this FO handles promotions/demotions. Between this, the way they've handled Blair/Wisler and some questionable promotions, I think they try to get too cute with things to the detriment of the players.
Side question- how long does he need to stay down to get an extra year of control?

Now that he's going down, don't bring him back till he's raking.
Yep, and he needs to do it a miniumum of two months. I say leave him down the rest of the year. Depending on how he does the rest of the year. If he was a good rest of the year, invite him to Spring Training next year to earn a spot. If he has a bad rest of the year, don't even invite him next year. Start him off in AAA. Let him work his way back in.
