If anyone thinks the FO is going to stop rushing him just because he's in AAA...they haven't been paying attention.

They stopped 'rushing' Albies when he got to AAA. And Dansby never even saw AAA. They've treated everyone differently, though with an overall aggressive approach.

Bet you $1 Albies is in Atlanta this season, despite the current log jam on the infield that has their former top prospect riding the pine.
 
Lugbauer now tied for the lead in HRs in the Appalachian League. Strikes out quite a bit, but it seems when he hits it, it stays hit. They've played him at C, 1B and 3B. Hope he can cut down the Ks and find a position.

Think he starts next season at AA?

They've been much more cautious with the 2016 draftees then they were with Soroka. Wentz has averaged less than 5 innings per start and they may not want to have him leapfrog High A. Of course, they jumped Allard aggressively, so I may be dead wrong in my assessment. Wentz has been solid.

I think he and Wilson could go to AA but he has had different health issues (dead arm) so they want him to gain strength without setbacks. I don't think it will matter which league he is in but likely on a pitch count in any of them.

True. I think the injury thing for Wentz will be what keeps him out of AA next season, at least at the beginning. Very encouraging season regardless.
 
Not sure we can say Acuna was rushed. He's already showing flashes of brilliance at AAA. It all depends on the adjustments he makes regarding K's. It's kinda early and he reduced his rate at Miss really quickly after adjusting.

Was curious why he fell. His raw power in college was impressive. Guess it's the K tendencies. All or nothing type guy at the moment.
