Kelly's having issues with Double A

by BigRedDog42 on Jun 19, 2010 8:50 PM EDT reply actions

pretty much to be expected

first year fully concentrating on pitching, A to AA is the hardest leap, and he’s just 20

Especially since starting him in high A this year was probably pushing it in the first place. He just needs some time adjusting to batters three years older than him. Like you said, A to AA is the worst.
