I think that is the path you have to take with 90% of prospects Joe Benson being a great example. Hicks seems to be a different type of kid. His failures early may be the best thing that ever happened to him. As he's used it as a learning experience and hasn't seemed to take it into the next at bat or into the field. A lot of kids go 9 for there first 30 and then you never notice they struggle just as much as Hicks as it takes forever for there statistics to stick out. The kid is already a better player then Ben Revere even as a .161 hitter. If he wasn't getting better he would have been sent down long ago, but at this point the kid belongs here. And by the way if he had been in Rochester the last 4 or 5 weeks he would be putting up the kind of #'s that would have fans begging for him to be called back up.
