Well I don't think Vogelbach is likely to get fast tracked either though. I think after what happened with Hoyer in Rizzo they are going to remain cautious in their promotions. I mean Almora was/is a higher touted guy especially in terms of makeup and has been destroying the ball at a similar level and yet he is also still in KC. While both could get a bump before the year is out, it seems as likely that they don't hit high A until the start of next year.
As far as the other stuff goes, we shall see. I don't think we are likely to see many rookies break camp at the start of next year, but Lake and Olt could take two spots you would think, Vitters and Jackson maybe as well but if they are more than bench guys I would be surprised. I also wouldn't be shocked if we saw a signing on the level of Edwin Jackson for the lineup. It will be interesting to see how this team is built for 2014.
You are probably correct in your assessment. The front office has been seemingly cautious when it comes to their prospects. It's too slow for my liking without trying to be competitve at the ML level at the same time.
Interesting is an understatement for what may happen for 2014. Sounds like from one of the links from Silence a few days ago, that Hoyer mentioned that there wouldn't be too many "youngsters" brought up for next season. So I suspect more garbage and we could end up with another 100 loss season.
Not much to look forward to, but I guess we shall see.
Off the subject a bit Dabs. What are your thoughts on the Yankees possibly being able to shed some payroll with A-Roid's situation ? You know Cashman would love to get the extra cash to extend Cano without penalties. What better place to get it from than A-Roids contract. It looks like Selig is willing to help them out.
