Mostly speculation, but interesting

Wouldn't be surprised either way. I don't think they'll use spring training stats to evaluate him heavily, but if he can't make contact with belt high fastballs that scrubs are "working on" then I guess we panic :lol:

It's kind of a philosophical thing. Do you let your most MLB-ready prospect suck it up at MLB and torpedo whatever value he might have had in a trade, or do you let him develop some more at AAA to make sure he's worked out the kinks in a hitter-friendly environment before bringing him up?

Either way, best of luck to him. Really cool guy, just needs to strike out way less.

That is an awfully left handed OF if BJax breaks camp with the major league team with DeJesus and Schierholtz likely to get major playing time as well. That move would probably push Schierholtz to truly being a fourth OF.
