Perhaps he's saying that a mental reset / change of scenery can be helpful to someone. Perhaps he's saying that it is easier to work on mechanical changes in an environment where the games don't "count" as much and you aren't feeling like you are letting your teammates down if you struggle. Maybe development doesn't completely trump winning at AAA, but the ratio of the importance of the two is skewed very differently than it is at the big league level. There's a luxury of being able to experiment and tinker with things at AAA without any pressure that if something doesn't work, or takes a long time to work, you will be sent down. -
Santander w/ a .656 OPS vs RHP. Gotta have him in the 4 hole. -

A college player is always a safer pick than a high school player, but often the HS players turn out to be the future elite MVP types. High school higher risk, higher reward. It's where you find your Gunnar Henderson's, Bobby Witts, Jackson Hollidays, Manny Machado, etc. A couple years ago I looked at the All star game roster and 70% were either international (very young) or drafted out of HS -
Maybe he’s saying they know him better and have more time to work with him. Maybe they were told specifically what to work on. -

Yep, quietly a very good start for Ryan. He would be penciled into my lineup at 1B/DH regardless of matchup with one day off per week. -

Are you saying that the coaches they have in AAA are better than the ones they have in the majors? -

Not all that surprising about Holliday. He needs a reset and to work with the coaches in Norfolk on fine tuning his mechanics and pitch identification. McKenna passed through waivers when they DFA'd him off the 40 man roster so the organization probably feels they can squeeze him through pretty safely again. Which means if McKenna is going to consistently pass through waivers, it essentially acts as a bonus option year and also allows them to free up space on the 40 whenever they need it. Other than McKenna, the only other DFA candidates at this moment are relief pitchers and this organization loves to rotate their bullpen arms.
