The Twins, wow. Way to show everyone how not to handle a prospect at the AAA/MLB levels. Was up way too early last year, and did nothing to earn a spot on the big league club to start the year.

Awful job by the Twins.

I agree with this. Had he done okay near the end last year, he could start the season, but he needed more time in the minors before coming up. They missed the boat by not starting him there this year.

I do think he will bounce back.

I really hope he bounces back, he truly is a 5 tool player and still very young. I think a big part of baseball is confidence, and I hope his lack of success in the big leagues (when he never shouldve been there) doesn't affect him long term. Would love to see him do well.

He'll need to keep figuring things out.

His K- rate is alarming. You can have all the tools, but if you can't make contact you can't get on base..he needs an entire ear in AAA atleast.

So is he worth keeping on my fantasy team to see if he bounces back or let him go?

He probably needs AA pitching to ever hit consistently.

Brought up too early, about time he got sent down. Facing major league pitching is not the place to figure things out with your plate approach.
