...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.
Start him in Daytona and push him to Dayton next year if he hits. There is only about a month left in the season.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

Normally I'd agree with you. However, Collier's dad was a major leaguer, and Collier volunteered to compete against much older competition and held his own. That combination means he's baseball mature. And in the majors at 19 is something that happens from time to time. That all said, it will be performance and injuries that determine how fast he moves.
Love the idea of a 2-3-4 of EDLC-Collier-Dominguez hitting in GABP.

Players at 19 or 20 in the majors usually turn out to be super stars. Ronald Acunia, Johnny Bench, Tom Seaver, Mays, Andrew Jones.
One thing Reds (sometimes) understand is winning the bidding on a lower priced asset.
Aroldis Chapman was the prototype. There have been others.
Cam doesn’t cost nearly big time free agent money. But Reds willingness to pay him well over slot is a good approach.
I wish there were more opportunities like this.

Several promising hitters on that Arizona team that are roughly the same age as Collier. I’d send him there and let him assimilate with those kids. If he outhits them and earns a promotion to Daytona, that would be great . But I think it could be helpful for the Reds to see and evaluate that cohort of young hitters (which will include Stewart) playing together for now.

Is there a season for that team in Arizona? I know there's an Arizona Fall league but is there a rookie ball season for these teenagers we just drafted?
Devils advocate - if you want to move some tickets - just call him to GABP and start him on Friday lol. I’d end my embargo to see that (mostly kidding)
Well, that's what those words mean. He was here. If they don't keep him, he will have been lost/subtracted. I headed out the door today with two shoes on my feet. If I don't return with them, I have lost them. If I do return with them, I haven't added them. ---M2
