Javey isn't ready, Bryant on the other hand is already better than a Trout/Cabrera hybrid clone birthed from the vagina of the woman that Gina Davis played in A League of Their Own.
pit:
I think Bryant could be called up right now and be just fine. And it would push Valbuena to 2nd, giving the infied quite a bit of pop all the way around. Buuuuut, we probably won't see it before September at the earliest unfortunately. And realistically, probably not then (especially if Iowa keeps winning like this).
Baez I agree, I think that at his age, as much as I (we) wanted to see him this year, a whole year at AAA will do him well for the future. You can see signs here and there that he is inching closer to the hitter we were hoping to see. I think next spring we are going to see an amazing player.

Iowa's record will have nothing to do with whether Bryant gets called up (with the limited exception that if they were going to call him up in September, they might delay that by a week or 2 to let him stay in Iowa through the playoffs, if Iowa makes the playoffs). But Iowa's performance will have nothing to do with whether he gets called up at all. He's not getting called up for the simple reason that they don't want him to be FA eligible until after 2021.
