Now that statement is going to need some qualification.
What I mean is - Neil always seemed to disappoint in the minors, then he'd get promoted anyways, then he'd disappoint again, etc...
Then he gets to the show and he's been a better than average hitter.
So I look at Tony Sanchez and his numbers almost always make me sadface but at no point does it seem as if he's been promoted before he was ready. He's been hot as hell in July. .277 BA, .360 OBP, .975 OPS.
I think we'd all agree that it doesn't mean a lot but it does mean something. I haven't cut bait yet.
Oh and there's one other guy - Adalberto Santos. He's pretty old for AA but he's killing it. He was abusing the ball before he got injured but since he's been back it's escalated to aggravated assault. If he was listed at 1B I'd take it with a grain of salt but he's listed as an OF and if there's any chance that this guy is capable of contributing at a higher level I'd like to know now before he gets too old. Let him have a turn in AAA.
