Just don't get it.
I thikn you're right re: Myers. A bump to AAA is coming soon, I think, but I'm fine with them letting him sustain this success for another month or so before moving him up.
Re: Colon... I'd feel a lot better about his numbers at AA if he had put them up LAST year. He needs to start stinging the ball more and get his OBP up a bit (his walk rate is down this year).
I'd be happy with his bat if he could maintain .280/.340/.420 as he advances levels. A .760 OPS is not superstar level, but it plays pretty well at 2B (and would be a considerable upgrade over the Royals' current options).

This is a prospect whom we need to protect, but I'm curious if Frenchy's struggles will expedite the time frame with Myers? These should be mutually exclusive. However, should Myers' promotion happen soon and if he would have a very good 25-30 games at AAA, it might be very, very tempting...
