He is the fastest guy in Baseball and in another season or 2 in the Minors when he matures a little more he will be Ricky Henderson good in the Lead off spot! He has a high BA in the Minors but when you adjust it for quality pitching and better fielders he would be hitting around .230 or .240 right now in the Big Show! Once he Matures a little more he will be able to handle (Hopefully) Big league Pitching.

Last November I believe I said he should get a shot.

Rumor has it he is so fast he was playing SS the guy in left field lost the ball in the lights, Hamilton turn the burners on an made the catch in left .

How is this guy doing now?

How is this guy doing now?

His average is going down and he is getting caught more on steal attempts. He has been facing better pitching in AA, and it is showing........ He is hitting .263 in 27 games with the Blue Wahoos. That's a 60 point drop in his BA from Single A, His OPS has dropped from .852 to .744...This kid is having a hard time adjusting to AA pitching and hasn't even seen Triple A pitching, yet people want the Reds to bring him up to the Big Show..

Think they should wait until the end of the season to bring him up.

Invite him to spring training next year and go from there. He needs to stay far away from Big League pitching this season....
