They wouldn't be the Mariners if they didn't at least attempt to destroy the confidence of their top prospects.

second youngest player now in the high minors
Re: Kelenic promoted to AA
Drayer of course with a pro M's FO piece. Not saying its insane to move him up now but I hope he doesn't struggle there and end the season on a low note.

Re: Kelenic promoted to AA
It just seems like it might be more for something that JD can point to in his annual review with Stanton as opposed to clearly the best thing for his development. See a guy I traded for is 20yo and is already in AA. Maybe I am overthinking things as usual.

So does anyone move up to Tacoma?

I think they want the team to be together for the playoffs. The organization thinks there is something special going on down there, and want their top prospect to be a part of it.

yep that's what Drayer said. Looks like the Angels are rushing their top prospect even more. Only 3 months older than JK and in AAA.

btw JK was only hitting .246 seven games ago.

Re: Kelenic promoted to AA
Yeah, but he had a whole extra year of professional baseball experience. Kelenic may be in MLB by now if he was drafted in 2017. I think he will be up at least in Aug/ Sept next year.D-train wrote: ↑Sat Aug 10, 2019 7:49 pmyep that's what Drayer said. Looks like the Angels are rushing their top prospect even more.

Yeah we think he is young which he is in terms of our recent "prospects" but he really isn't when you look around the league.Juliooooo wrote: ↑Sat Aug 10, 2019 7:51 pmYeah, but he had a whole extra year of professional baseball experience.
