Adam Jones being rushed

When Clement was promoted to AAA, I wondered why the rush. Coming off an injury, and with little time in AA, it seemed "odd" to be rushing one of your top prospects when you have a catcher on your major league roster who is playing at an All Star level.

Now with Jones being called up, the question again is why? If you bring him up, you have to play him every day. Only an idiot (Hargrove?) would try to platoon your brightest position player in your entire farm system. But what about Choo? Why can't you give him a chance to show what he can do?

Realistically, we all know Choo is not an everday outfielder, but he could have done no worse than Reed until he returns.

Jones should be battling Reed for the CF position next spring. The chance a 20 year old comes up here and lights the world on fire is about 5%.

Bavasi makes some strange moves. The ideal move would be to move Ichiro to center. We all know it, including Bavasi. I think it is safe to say the club has asked and he won't do it.

So Ichiro stays in RF, and Jones is rushed.

My interest in the team is heightened, but my heart tells me this is a bad move.

Time will tell.
