How would you like to be an outfielder at double A or triple A and have a kid hitting .272/.336 obp in A ball jump right over you?
Its nice to have some speed.
He is on the 40 man roster and that is why he got the call up.
The scouts rave about his defensive ability
Thinking about it, the jump in terms of hitting from AA to the majors is probably bigger than the jump defensively from high A to the majors. They may think his current skill set is what they need to survive defensively.
Why did they have an A-ball kid on the 40 man? They had a couple of guys that had a real good spring that aren't on it. Looks like he belongs right now.
MM has talked up this guy from the beginning. He loves his defense. Sure has been more fun after that horrendous start.Why did they have an A-ball kid on the 40 man? They had a couple of guys that had a real good spring that aren't on it. Looks like he belongs right now.
All these wins count on their record just like the ones inside the division or against really good teams. Especially when the Cubs are losing!
It would be nice to win a couple when they play the Cubbies this weekend.

Not specific to sierra but you have to manage this to avoid them being rule 5 eligibleWhy did they have an A-ball kid on the 40 man? They had a couple of guys that had a real good spring that aren't on it. Looks like he belongs right now.
I don't know how all that rule 5 stuff works. They have guys at Memphis that are not on the 40 man, I guess no one grab them?
There's rules about how long you have to bring a guy up to the major league 40 man roster
I have a vague recollection that this can be affected by what contract a player signs when they join a club.
