Ozzie last year? Furcal, but he wasn't really 19. Andruw in 96? Nobody else really comes to mind.

Albies got as much PT last year. Prior to that, you've likely got to go back a while - J-Hey and Freddie maybe.

right now Acuna is our best 4th OF.. But no chance I start him in Atl. NO CHANCE!!!!
Yeah, Albies was basically the same age, a tad younger, and actually got a few ABs the year before as well. Heyward got 2 ABs at 18 but was a little older the next year when he got more extensive time, though it was the same point in his development.
Just seems weird to see a kid who has only played 40 games above rookie ball out there consistently in spring training.

I wasn't suggesting it was a bad thing. I like seeing him out there.

I think I read that he was only going to be assigned the first 2 exhibition games then go to rookie camp. Not sure if that changed or if he impressed enough to let him continue to shine. I would love to see this breed confidence that he carries over into destroying the minors this year!!
Aren't we sending some guys to the WBC? So why not give him some PT I guess.

What if Acuna was on the White Soxs.. that would put some on here over the top!!

He might be as well as Albies, Allard, Newcomb and Soroka if some here got their way and the Braves traded for Quintana

I might have become a wSoxs fans too if that had happened..

he is a legit backup. So we have 3 back up catcher now.

I was hoping they pulled him after 2 and just let him leave feeling better about himself.
It is irrational, but I like Recker a lot. I know he isn't good, but I like him. Maybe because he is so dreamy?

He had a nice run with us last year. SSS most likely, but stranger things have happened.
Another pickoff today.
How in the world did he look so good in the beginning and now equally so bad. I thought between he and Blair...Wisler would be the one to figure things it. Boy was I wrong...It's turning out to be the opposite. Blair has developed the out pitch...not Wisler. Still has time of course, but he sure seems to be going in the wrong direction.

I really hope he's working on stuff out there that he's struggling with and not just trying to pitch well. The reason Spring Training stats aren't important is that a lot of guys are trying stuff, but if you're getting rocked when you're trying your normal best pitches, then that's not a good sign.
