Drew Waters hopes to change this trend later this year.

I’m hoping this (Dillon) Peters out.

Well played with arroyo though, JJ.

[The Feral Slasher]

Well it's his 13th game, he went 3 for 5 so far tonight and he is hitting .482 with 6 HR and 6 SB. Might not have to wait too much longer.

I think your encouragement may have made the difference

Jason Bay too, along with Mickey Rivers. And even Simon Pond.

Don't forget Billy Ocean

Actually quite the opposite, early promotions are the rarity, typically you see these closer to mid season.

Robert struggled in A+ last year, so it was not a surprise to see him go back there. He's had a total of only 64 games above rookie ball at this point, so a AA move is aggressive (although appropriate), but it's not like they are moving him slowly.

There was good reason to promote him out of preseason. He was recovering from an injury last season but played well against higher level competition in AFL then lit up training camp.

Organizations generally want a player to repeat a level that they struggled with, at least for a small amount of time. This assignment was no surprise and the promotion wasn't delayed by any means. Looks very typical.

Nate Pearson with 35K's in 21 IP in Hi A. 0.86 ERA and 0.62 Whip. The Jays have him alternating 5 IP outings with 2 IP outings.

Luis Robert is slashing .475/.512/1.025, 5 HR in 43 PA. Why is he still in A ball? I know he strikes out and never walks, but why?

Luis Robert slashing .000/.250/.250 Why did the promote him to AA ? He's really struggling

0-3 tonight!

Kyle Tucker started off the season terrible but he's rounding into form.

Last 7 games:

.333/.379/.852 (1.231 OPS)
4 HR, 3 SB, 7 R, 11 RBI

But, teammate Yordan Alvarez has most likely passed Tucker on the depth chart.

I've heard that from outside evaporators when Tucker was struggling, but not actually from the Astros. Is that actually from an Astros source or just speculation?
