It won't hurt his progression either way, and I'd just let him play with Wong personally (I know, I know).

Mo said as much too about keeping them all together in AA.

Re: Oscar Taveras
Well, you really can't ignore the bond that happened between Craig, Descalso, and Jay. It's very obvious. Hard to read anything into it, but you have to wonder if it helped them all make it and reach the absolute highest projections of their MLB production. I don't have a problem with all of them staying at AA together.

I also hope the same can be said for Kelly and Miller, with Kelly in the bigs now.

Read that Rymer Liriano and Oscar Tavares had the best BP sessions of any player.

@Kevin_Goldstein: Only during Oscar Taveras. RT @harrypav: @Kevin_Goldstein did you achieve a transcendental state during that BP session?

@Kevin_Goldstein: I wish I could get an estimate on hitting the bottom of the CF scoreboard. Taveras did that yesterday.

Sorry if you guys already follow goldstein--I just assume that not everyone here has twitter.

Re: Oscar Taveras
I am dying to see this guy play. I've read so much about him, sat with a Cards scout on a flight back from Florida a couple of weeks ago who just gushed over this guy. 330/382/589 in AA at the age of 20.
As far as keeping guys together as they advance to keep them comfortable, I don't think it's a terrible idea as long as it's reasonable.
