Kris Bryant has 32 home runs in his first 105 minor league games.

....."barring extraordinary circumstances, both in terms of the player and what's going on with the big league team."



Perhaps it's just me, but it seems as if Bryant would qualify for a call-up under both conditions. But hey,  what the hell do I know? When a guy comes into town on the heels of "In Theo We Trust" like he's some kind of baseball god or something, maybe he knows something we are all incapable of understanding.



Or perhaps Theo lives in an executive suite with no mirrors. Or team standings. Or minor league stats from his own affiliates.



Spreadsheet no like Kris Bryant this year.

Bryant unlikely to join Cubs this season - Chicago Cubs Blog - ESPN Chicago:

CHICAGO -- Just days after promoting Kris Bryant from Double-A to Triple-A, Chicago Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein all but shut the door on a major league promotion for Bryant this season.

"I don't foresee a scenario where he would be up this year," Epstein said Friday before the Cubs played the Pittsburgh Pirates. "I don't think it's the right thing to do in someone's first full professional season, barring extraordinary circumstances, both in terms of the player and what's going on with the big league team."
