What Should we Expect from Luke Keaschall in the Big Leagues?

Probably a PH or PR debut tonight and then, Welcome to the show Kid, here's Chris Sale, tomorrow...

As usual, the point of my comment is missed. This article is about Keaschall and what he may be able to bring to the table.  As seems to be the TD masses singular argument at the moment, there is an immediate attack  on Rocco.

To your point, if you are going to blame Rocco for the entirety of a players development... well, nothing I say is going to change that tunnel view approach.

Actually, you missed my point - which was we should ultimately expect very little from Keaschall if the approach to developing these prospects by Rocco and HIS staff doesn’t change.  I guess I didn’t make that clear enough. 

There is no tunnel vision.  It’s simply Rocco’s responsibility (and, yes, he is responsible for the performance of his staff) to develop the strong performing and widely acclaimed prospects he inherits from our farm system.  Quite frankly, for a franchise like ours, it is probably his most important job.  I hope he either gets better at it or is held accountable.

I know this article is about Keaschall but he is getting less ink than someone named Rocco.  To respond to the topic, I hope Keaschall is given an extended opportunity to show his potential.  But I'm afraid he will be used as a late-inning pinch hitter/runner.  Pretty much a waste of his time.  Might as well use Bride for that.

I highly doubt they are bringing up a top prospect who has only sniffed AAA to be a late inning pinch hitter/runner.

Which 'strong performing and widely acclaimed prospects' has he 'ruined' (which was your word)?

My point had nothing to do with Keaschall's performance, rather the propensity to hijack discussions by changing the narrative from Keaschall to attacking Rocco... which is what this is.

I am not defending or attacking Rocco, but the constant Rocco bashing (with no real proof that Rocco is the primary reason for the team losing) on every article, including those where it really isn't warranted, is just sad.  (No, this isn't a personal attack on you specifically, but a general observation of the comments)
