The FO has said all along that they're going to let players tell them when they're ready through their play. I will believe that until it's proven untrue. We have a lot of fans who have simply assumed what the FO will do, and we have no indications yet that they will.

Thats what I love to see from a prospect.
Great to see him rebound. And man, Peterson's OPS has shot up over 70 points tonight, up to .830 now...in AA...at 21. May be time to start thinking about him as a serious prospect.

He is a single away from the cycle.. should have 2 more Abs to get it hopefully.
Rome just finished off a 2 hit shutout.. Soroka started.. Minter closed it down... good job guys.

also in the AA game.. Whalen with a good start.. 6 pitched 4H/1ER/4K/1BB 95 pitches.. needs to throw more strikes...but still a good effort.

I don't know if he'll ever hit enough, but Toscano has made some impressive catches in RF of late. Looks like he has plus range out there.

Real quick, and I'm sure there are professionals that get paid to do what I surmise, but Albies bat speed is second to none....and I mean none in this organization. I'd say Dansby is second, but I've only seen him once. If you look at Albies first AAA HR...watch the barrel get to the zone on the inside pitch. It's what separates him from say....Braxton. Braxton has the recognition, but only AFTER he's put in a hole forcing him to swing at a pitchers pitch or the UP AND AWAY pitch that he has problems with.
Albies will be ok. He's hitting the ball hard, but I've never seen so many at em balls. (My brother is in Gwinnett....gives me an excuse to see him and have beers). LOL. If Albies bats .100, he'll still learn. He's a quick study. Just wait for it....

It would be great if he is a legitimate option for LF at some point in 2017 or the start of 2018. His brother seemed to top out at AA, so I hope he has the ability to adjust and push through.

Any idea what the plans are with him as far as starting?

I grew up in Douglasville. Graduated from Chapel Hill actually.

I'm not sure, but it wouldn't surprise me to see him pushed to Carolina and stretched out there.

Areas grown up a lot. Delino DeShields daughter trained in D'ville for basketball. My daughter trained there until moving to orlando. Good talent In that area now in baseball too. Small world Striker!
I agree. I don't think anybody's worried about Albies.
If I remember correctly, I think he struggled as a starter in college but was dominant out of the bullpen. Seems reasonable that we drafted him as a reliever to move fast.

I checked Peterson's splits this morning and he's absolutely killing LHP. He's among the youngest players in the league (in a league where a number of relatively young guys sit high on the performance charts) and he's moved up a level each year. His power numbers look to be up this year (the bus crash probably set him back last year), which is a good thing in our system.
