So Bryant, who has never got hurt and has mashed at every level at every level, shouldn't be fast-tracked or promoted, but Soler, who really hasn't had extended success due to his health, should be promoted soon?

 

I don't understand the logic.

 

You want to fast track him, not only because of service time concerns but he runs out of options after next year.  If he can start the year on the big league club that gives the Cubs additional flexibility with sending him down if he struggles at some point.

 

The question then becomes, would playoff run/playoff experience in Iowa/Tennessee be more valuable or 2-3 weeks of MLB plate appearances?
