While I haven't yet run any park factors for the stadium yet, the announcers for Pensacola have noted that it is almost impossible to hit a home run to right field. While Didi isn't a big power threat, as a lefty, you have to wonder if it is causing his power to be down somewhat.

I would wait a few more weeks before even thinking about looking into promotions for Stephenson/Cisco/Rahier.
I'd try Mills in LF in Louisville. It seems that would be the only place where he'd ever have a chance to start with the big club.

I wouldn't be upset if DiDi was promoted to Louisville, especially if it made room for Hamilton in Pensacola. However something would need to happen with Janish.

Agree that it's certainly too soon on the rookie league guys, but I thought I made that clear in the OP. However, if they continue to perform over the next six weeks, I'd give them a bump and see what they can do at the next level. Who knows- if Rahier mashes all year including in Billings, maybe he jumps Rosa and starts next year in Advanced A. It wouldn't be the craziest idea ever. By most accounts, he was one of the better HS hitters in the draft. Challenge thy hitters.
