The realistic ceiling on what should be expected at this point is probably competent AA-offense, but not good enough defense to be an on-field asset at that level. The upper error bar on that prediction probably doesn't include reaching MLB (on talent alone, anyway). The lower error bar is probably an eventual collapse back to AFL-like numbers at his current level.
You are joking, do you know how hard it is to get to AA?
Here is the dilemma. If they move him to high A and he he can't produce, 8there goes their attraction and then the experiment is over. They will keep him as long as they can at low A. Their true prospects will move ahead of him. Mets have major league issues right now, this is their ditraction.
AZFL is a future prospect league. Again, it's pretty apparent that he was there for a reason.

I don't know, when you consider that Michael Jordan got a lengthy shot at AA. Don't discount the power of a good distraction and the ability of a club to push the limits of it.
