Derek Jeter grenade successful

Anyways, The argument will not be if Olt is a better defender. They will have no argument because Bryant:

1. Is not on the 40 man roster
2. Has less than 300 AB's in MILB
3. Needs to get more reps at 3rd due to his shoulder ailment
4. Needs to see time in LF because he will be playing there eventually
5. He has no triples

Therein lies part of their grievance, yes? Im sure part of the very thing they will argue is that the Cubs kept him off the 40 man intentionally.

Christian Villanueva is on the 40 man, plays the same position as Bryant, yet he hit .230 between AA and AAA last season. How is that explained?

CJ Edwards doesnt even have 50 IP above A ball and he's there.

Just looks like it could be another move to keep Bryant from getting service time.

But there also are examples of players who had fewer than Bryant’s 297 plate appearances at Triple-A — and became stars.
The list includes Mike Trout, Miguel Cabrera and Giancarlo Stanton, plus Albert Pujols, Justin Upton and many others. Bryant is at least two years older than all of those players were at the times of their debuts, and less of a defensive question than some. Pujols did not even have a set position his first season. Cabrera played three games in left field at Double-A before assuming that spot for the Marlins full time.
