Kelenic promoted to AA

Wow, does that seem a bit of a rush after only 169 PAs in Modesto???

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
