I'd rather have him play every day for the experience until I have another solution at catcher. I have too many outfield prospect who are just about to be ready for a call up so I'd rather not be switching him everywhere early in his career. Thanks for the advice though

Making them more versatile to your roster

Is he really ready for the majors?

Seca Joined: 05/05/2014 Posts: 5199 Waterloo Dinosaurs Legends	Thanks for the reply. I'd really like to fill as much of that monster potential bar as possible. It still looks like a pretty big gap between that and the SI bar. I don't have any experience with how fast players develop in the majors. A little nervous. (Was also hoping he'd want a promotion closer to the start of a season to take a run at rookie pitcher. Oh well.) We aren't going anywhere. He'll either be starting or a setup guy. Whichever seems to get him the most innings.

If you leave him in the minors odds are he won't improve much more if at all. Even if he has a rough season the experience will be irreplaceable. Give him a shot somewhere prominent ASAP. Either starter or MR1.
