Absolutely no problem promoting him to AA and using him in short stints to simulate a reliever. Am excited to see him progress! I just think saying he’s the best lefty we have is premature after just a few innings at a low level in ‘24. It’s a long way from trying AA on August 10th & pitching in a pressure cooker in the Show on September 15th. To me, not the organization, it seems like a hell of a stretch.

Agreed, but only one way to find out. It is 100% a stretch, but this is very different than a hitter, imo. Again, only one way to know.....that's all I'm asking for. Put him in AA as a RP, and see what happens for a few weeks. But, it isn't happening.
