When Doyle shows he is ready, he should be moved up accordingly. There should be no preset or arbitrary timeline. Every player and situation should be viewed and judged separately and independently.

I’d agree. Do you think they operate with a matrix. Guided by time, not results.

I don't know SBD. I do know that certain posters think there should be some preset progression through Rookie, A, AA, AAA.

I hope the big club is more concerned with:

1. Is the player ready?
2. If so, do we have a role on the big club to give the player regular playing time and opportunity?
3. Are we ready to start the financial clock?

Those are good questions.

Player ready. Are they ever “ ready.” There simply comes a time in space, when decisions of this nature must be made, based on performance, not a guided time line.

Playing time. A tougher road to hoe. 26 men. 13 pitchers. 8 position players.

Money. I think you hit it. Money. Give it back. Keep your hands off my stack. Money. Is a hit. Don’t give me that too good bull sh-t.

Some Floyd to ease the pain.
