Lambo still has an option, and Dickerson would have to be DFA'ed to get sent back down. Morel does have some background as a MLB scrub, but had a sub-.600 OPS at Indy.<br /><br />And yah, we can agree to disagree on Polanco. Cutch had his MLB learning curve, Starling is going through his, and Polanco, no matter when they bring him up, will have his. I just feel like it's better to get the process rolling, altho the Super 2 is a powerful disincentive.

No doubt Super 2 does enter into the equation, but with or without that consideration, I would much rather see the Pirates bring him up after a few extra weeks in Triple A than bring him up a few weeks early. Even with his time in Indy this season, IIRC Polanco still has well short of 100 games at Triple A under his belt. Thus he would be closer to a guy trying to make the jump from Double A than he would be anything else. I guess he'd be one that could probably make that leap, but still: there's nothing more frustrating (and dangerous to the player) than bringing a kid up too soon and then having him yo-yo while he tries to recapture his confidence. Just my opinion.WilliamJPellashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774466220683142262noreply@blogger.com
