They have to wait until August 14th or else they lose a year of service. More than 45 days on the roster or 130 ABs makes him not a rookie.

Sept 1 at the earliest UNLESS Winn gets hurt. That could change things, although I think if that happened they will try to run with Fermin until 9/1.

If they promote him before the deadline and lose a year of control this year they are idiots.

Yep no since in losing a year of control for a lost season. But man am I looking forward to it!
It's been a long line of disappointments so I'm not even gonna make the comparisons we're all thinking of and just hope he keeps mashing everywhere he goes.
For reference, though, he's only like 100 days younger than JWalk and we saw what happened when they rushed him.

I know you aren't comparing J Walk and JJ as apples to apples, and we've had other really good MILB prospects (at least we thought) over the years...Walker, Gorman, Taveras, Carlson, etc. But, when was the last time we had a prospect that was supposed to be really good, that seems to actually be really good. I'm asking that questions seriously

He would bring some excitement to the stadium...I'm in Section 148 and it's been very quiet for the last 6 weeks...other teams are bringing up young studs...I'm not worried about what may happen with his contract in 3 years...

You should care ifnyou ever want the cardinals to be good. Like it or not dewitts will always have a budget. If you bring these players up too fasz and lose years of control when they arent even mlb ready, ypu lose control of them by their prime or have to pony up money by the time they are ready. And for what? This team isnt going anywhere and he isnt gonna save their season so why blow a year of control?

I know he has been in two offensively friendly leagues this year, but you gotta love to see the power beginning to come on. Nine of his 12 HRs have come in the last two months.

Cool. The fans are speaking loud and clear. DeTwit and Mo-ran can continue to lose the fanbase.

Totally understand what you're saying, but Walker was a very raw kid coming out of high school and made his debut two years after graduating. JJ had three years at college, a taste of the minors last year, plus all this year in the minors to hone his skills.
Not to say JJ is going to just come in and be an All Star from day one, but I think they're very different.
