You gotta believe they're gonna err on the conservative side with him this time around. A solid year at triple A and, outside of the Sept call up, possibly the beginning of next year in the minors before there's any real thought of letting him play in St. Louis.
The last thing he needs right now is to be a "big story." You know if he's brought up, all of the sudden ESPN's reporting his every move. Let him succeed in the minors before we start subjecting him, once again, to the scrutiny of the national media.
