if he gets recalled before anderson, jones, or even the walking corpse of joe borchard, i’ll put my head through a window. not only is the guy NOT READY, i don’t think he’s played a game all season and is likely ICE COLD.

He’s not going to Richmond to get back in shape—he’s been in Orlando at extended spring training staying in shape since his suspension. He’s going to pick it back up at AA Mississippi and I doubt he’ll see anything past AA this year. He had ELEVEN at-bats at the time of his suspension and by now, most minor league seasons are a third of the way completed. He’s got a lot of catching up to do and I’d be shocked if he even got a September call-up.

plus, theres the whole character thing. i’m sure a lot of the guys would be pissed off if they saw that a guy that just got done serving a steroids suspension gets rewarded with a call to the majors, top prospect or not.

as much as i would love to see, it would be big news for my dynasty fantasy league, theres absolutely no way jordan gets called up before july at the very earliest, the better estimation is he’ll be a september callup, unless he crushes the ball AND someone gets hurt.

But as far as im concerned Anderson is the first to get called up, i think Borchard and Jones are never gonna be more than bench players or, more likely, good AAA players. I know Jones has a ton of skill, he is a five tool player, he doesnt do anything well enough to be an everyday player ( and yes i realize this analysis is less than groundbreaking)

thats my two cents
