Guess R/L could play into the hypothetical too.

That's what makes it difficult for me. I'm afraid Dalbec would be a windmill if he faced MLB pitching, but I really don't want another LH bat either. I'd go Rosario in what I think is a pretty tough call.

What’s the case for Boeve? He’s struck out 30% of the time and has yet to play the field this year.

Wilken’s 15 HR are nice, but the matching 15 singles are equally discouraging. Brock might need to improve on that 27.5 K% and .208 batting average before earning a promotion.

Adams probably has the best statistical case for a bump up, but is the worst fit positionally playing mostly 1B this year with EMJ (& eventually Black) lined up for most of those reps. Guess they could slide him back to 3B but that eats into the reps they’ve been trying to get Seigler there.

Another issue is even with the monster start Burke is off to, he’s only got 3 HR and a .131 ISO (54th of 127 Midwest League hitters min. 100 PA). He’s kinda the anti-Wilken with 48 singles doing the heavy lifting for him right now. Similar to Areinamo repeating Wisco because they wanted him to show more selectivity/power, could see them waiting on a Burke promotion until he starts getting more XBH in the mix.

Also slightly concerning is the increasing whiff rates from Burke

Lost in all this discussion today: That's a pretty dang solid High-A debut for LHP Sam Garcia. I spent my afternoon down at the Spokane Indians hosting the Hillsboro Hops. I really quite like what LHP Konner Eaton is working with. He would benefit working with the Brewers. The Rockies should just give him to us 🤗
