God, I'm praying Baez doesn't turn into another BJax or Olt because of his alarming K rate.

 

I understand he does so many things better than BJax/Olt, but MLB pitching will eat up Javy's approach to the plate.

 

Again, the kid is the youngest player in AAA.  It's his first year at AAA, he is still adjusting to getting pitched differently.  Give him some time.  There is no need to rush him through AAA.  He isn't going to help us win this year or next year.  Just let him get it figured out, give him a full year in AAA this year and at least a good half year next year.  There is no need to see Bryant or Baez before the AS break in 2015.

100% agree. I listen to a lot of sports radio at work, and I hear a lot talk about wanting Baez and Bryant up...and I'm like "Why!?!?". I don't know what's appealing about Baez's .230 average and alarming K rate in AAA that some people are gawking over. He still needs a lot of work in my opinion. He's certainly shown flashes of brilliance, but he's anything but consistent.....yet. He has been doing a lot better in the field, I think his error rate has improved a lot since he first few years since getting drafted.

 

I understand Cubs fans are eager to get these draft picks up so they can start winning again, but it's going to take a couple more years.
