Doing much better this year  batting 365 with 17% Ks this year. No homers yet but still a nice line. Longenhagen kinda predicted that saying he is an advanced college hitter who had that terrible start last year due to injury and thus gave him a 40+ rating.

Good choice to let him repeat A ball imo but I think they should soon call him up to AA since he is already turning 23 this summer and seems to handle A ball now which of course is not a huge challenge for a good, polished college bat. I think 2-3 more good weeks at A ball and he should be up in AA.

A to A+ is legit, and there's no room in AA. But, yeah, he's very much on the Luis Gonzalez track - who himself could have been pushed a bit more aggressively.

Another example of a reason not to get too upset about the post draft performance of players. Sucks because it gives you a "what if" with Burger too.
