Wow. Didn't expect that one, to say the least. He barely even got time in AA.

How can you not respect and admire the Tigers organization with regards to young player acquisitions and development. They're definitely aggressive. Dombrowski, Leyland and Co. don't mess around. Verlander, Bonderman, Miller, Zumaya, Jurrjens, Maybin and soon to be Porcello.
If a kid can play...he's going to PLAY. That much is certain.

Can't wait to see him play.
Any idea on how much playing time he will actually get?
Well teams usually don't call up their top prospects to sit them on the bench, the idea is to get these kids ABs every single day somehow on some level. I'm not saying he'll play every single day, but I'd imagine they will make an effort to get him a lot of ABs.

I wish the Cubs did this with their top prospect who is currently riding the bench.
