Aside from 1000 posts a day on this forum, what makes it amazing? You're very arrogant sir.

I have a great career, I have a great family life and good friends. I’m only arrogant in the eyes of the dudes who say very dumb shit on here. Thanks.

These kids were brought up far too soon, a stint in AAA would be better for their overall growth.

How is a stint in AAA against worse pitching gonna help their growth?

What's been the mindset since time immemorial regarding being sent down to AAA? Less pressure, more ability to experiment with adjustments. 

 

You're telling me Adell didn't improve from being sent down? He looks a hell of alot better today than a few years ago.

 

Let's just call everyone up to the BIGS, all the rookies. Can all the vets, since big league development will fast track the entire farm smh.

The difference between AAA and the majors has never been larger, according to multiple MLB execs.

So I’m not sure how a player is gonna get better by facing worse pitching.

Neto is lost

Why are you saying Neto is lost? He went 1 for 5 tonight, but has been pretty solid over the last month-- and was 6 for 13 in his last 4 games before tonight. 

Edit: ...maybe you're confusing Neto and O'Hoppe, who has a robust .617 OPS in his last 30 games.

Neto is one of my fave players on the team. I don't take pleasure shitting on him.
