Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9569 Haverhill Halflings III.1 | I'm probably more conservative than most just because I have been bitten so often by following the AI's advice, but to me that definitely looks early. I'd leave him down for a few more weeks. His Hitting is only 10 right now, which means he still has a TON of growing to do. On the other hand he has really flown through the ranks. Given how little time he required at the other levels, he probably requires less then 1.5 years at AAA. Still should be very low risk leaving him down for a few more weeks given his young age (and the fact he won't be helpful in the majors). Unless his performance improves drastically, I wouldn't be in a hurry to promote him as all. | ||

For me he doesn't have enough SI to call up and get regular at bats. If you get to the all star break and he isn't growing in the minors I might then promote him but I think you can leave him down to learn 1b and he can still gain SI. | ||

newtman Joined: 11/02/2013 Posts: 3343 Inactive | I agree with Rock's assessment. I have seen guys like that come up and pan out, and others who didn't hit their potential. For that reason, I might play it safe and leave him down til the all-star break or maybe the end of this season at the latest. I don't think his SI is bad for where it is supposed to end up, but I do think that his hitting skill in particular is a little low for where it is supposed to end up. Still, I could go either way on this guy. | ||

amalric7 Joined: 01/20/2016 Posts: 2235 New York Lancers IV.2 | I can certainly understand the cautious advice, because I think many posters here have had prospects who haven't pushed on once promoted. But Alicea has moved quickly - 26 SI gained in three seasons, and between 89-97 games played at A, AA and AAA (an even number at all three levels). He could easily gain 26 SI more over the next three seasons, so I'd say he's ready. Though the early results are likely to be poor, if he moves like that you'll have a stud hitter fully developed at just 25-years old. | ||
