00:00he's barely had any time at triple a he's barely really had any time beyond singling he was pretty

00:05quick so go down there and whenever you get your confidence back and whenever you look like the

00:10prospect that you were again you can come right back up you just said it keith i mean there's

00:15plenty of guys who come up and struggle and get sent back down jack caglione yeah that's j.a.c

00:22before the two dongs keith he was given a day off they were talking about maybe sending him back

00:27down yeah and that's another one of the top like the 170 yeah i mean roman anthony looks at that and

00:31goes 170 double my average but you know that's like one more hit that's true yeah he'll get there

00:37tristan casas math but no i uh there's plenty of prospects who come up they struggle initially

00:42they get sent back down and then they move i don't think they've ruined him yet no but i do think

00:47they didn't do him any favors well they rushed into the big leagues for the wrong reasons they rushed

00:52into the big leagues because they thought he was the crown jewel of their development system

00:56they thought driveline had figured out his swing you can go back and read jeff pass and we did at

01:00the time at the beginning of the year early april even before campbell may even broke the camp with

01:05the club they were talking him up and talking him up as a uh the pride and joy of their development

01:10and driveline again overhauling his swing so let me ask you this i think they they it's evidence that

01:16they brought him to the bigs for the wrong reason i don't think they've ruined him yet i'm not there yet

01:20but they did rush him for what so i wouldn't have done this and we talked about it at the time

01:24but knowing what we know now would they have been better off having bregman play second base

01:30and you never have an issue with devers now he's butchering the ball third base still

01:35but he's still your third baseman bregman's your second baseman and campbell's been in the minors

01:39this whole time would they have been better off i mean i would say i would lean no but i i would

01:44leave the door open to yeah they might be better off you don't wonder if they don't piss off devers but

01:48you also don't know how bregman would play second no i know devers continues to kick the ball around

01:52third so i wouldn't have done it because i think you wanted to improve your infield defense
