You basically try to look for a safe period period.
where you say, okay, he's in the position where you get to the percentages that he's safe.
And sometimes that's late May, early June.
But I think Connor Griffin is not somebody you compare to what other prospects have done.
He is kind of one of those one-of-one types that you just don't see these guys come around very often.
I think he's going to be ready sooner than we all expect.
I think it's just a matter of getting him at bats against high-level pitching so that he doesn't come up to the majors and get completely exposed.
What you see in the minors is very similar, but it's not as sharp.
These guys can't locate a lot of their pitches, and they're not throwing their breaking pitches and their off-speed pitches with the same precision.
They're not landing their fastballs wherever they want them.
It's a little more of a scatter shot.
But when he was in AA, he looked like a man amongst boys, and he was four and a half years younger than everybody in terms of average age.
He's going to look that play, you know, he already looks the part of being an opening day shortstop.
I think the Pirates may have some reservations about putting him.
They're very much talking about putting this guy in a position to succeed instead of one to fail because they know how valuable he is and how important his development is for their future.
I think what's realistic is you're going to see performances like yesterday.
And yesterday was, you know, a little bit of an abnormally that yesterday
that he's a guy who's going to walk people sometimes because he throws the ball really hard and the command isn't quite where he needs to be you know i think you're going to see because of the predecessors to him jared jones and paul schemes you're going to expect him to come up and throw 100 miles an hour and blow people away which he's shown he can do we've also seen him have a rough outing against milwaukee we've also seen him do it in in small spurts when he's working out of the bullpen to start his career
But the thing that impressed everybody about Bubba Chandler yesterday, it's not so much that he hit 100 miles an hour on his third pitch.
We know he's capable of that.
