    You've really never heard of or witnessed a highly touted prospect come up too early, suck and then take years (if ever) to get things back together?

    You're relatively new here, but you should still get the reference: the Redszone term for it is getting Reithed.

    MLB history is littered with pitchers who dominated AA and never were able to succeed in the majors. Just having glossy stats doesn't mean he's ready.

    I am excited about his performance so far as well, but I'm certainly not ready to slot him in as the 2nd or 3rd best starter in the org.
    Nope. I listen to what people are saying though, including some guy from Fangraphs who said that he has the potential of a future #1 or #2. Go ahead, name someone better in the Reds org right now not named Iglesias or Stephenson. And while you're at it, tell me how a promotion will "mess with his development"

    Cubs announcers -
