I don't think it's in our FO's MO to rush young players, but I wonder that if JD's injury lingers as the season wears on, and if Vlad continues to destroy AA, they don't consider bringing the kid up. He's only 19, but I really think he'd be able to hit at the MLB level now. They could DH him mostly with Solarte at 3rd, but spell the kid in at 3B once in a while too. Sounds crazy, but he's a special talent that keeps smashing through barriers every time they put one in front of him.
