Oh boy, those hand injuries to young sluggers can linger, especially during the development stages. Fortunately, he seems to be a more mature hitter than most (I’m looking at you, Austin Riley). Heal up so we can see you suit up in Atlanta sometime soon, D.P.

Braves shouldn’t rush Albies. Look what happened to Mondesi in KC last year at 20. Let Albies crush AAA, and consider him next year. Braves are going to suck this year anyway. No sense burning a year of control, risk screwing him up, while losing the whole time.

I might agree with your “don’t rush” mentality. but each individual is completely different. And although age seems to translate to maturity, it isn’t always the case. Some players are much older before they are mature enough to handle the show, some are much younger. I don’t think it would be fair to slow Albies progression based on what Mondesi has done because of age. It truly will be a judgement call are mgmt.

I’m confused about the whole hamate bone situation. Why does it need to be taken out?
