Well they just brought Gurriel Jr up from AA straight to the majors so it's certainly not crazy or unheard of, however he is 5 years older than Vladito.
Personally I am more than OK with the organization taking their time with Guerrero Jr. There really isn't a position on the field for him to play regularly, as I see him either at 1B or 3B which are both occupied by pretty damn good MLBers. He gets more at bats this way and can continue to get better. He is
still only 19 years old, which is crazy to think, and I think his conditioning is something that could be improved.
Plus the sooner you bring him up the sooner he hits free agency. Plus I still see this team as a bubble WC team with or without Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
