Michael Burgess Promoted

I have been keeping an eye on Burgess for most of the season, and eventually drafted him in my DMB Keeper league. I just noticed that he was promoted and had his first game in High A today. He went 1 for 4 with a solo HR.

My question.... do you think it was too soon? 46-136-401 BB-K-AB ratio in Low A. Very high K numbers and decent walk numbers. Will this promotion help or hinder him long term?

re

neither…. he gets a taste of High A the last month of the season. Even if he struggles its not that big of a deal. Now if this was July and he was sent up, struggles, gets sent back down, that could hurt him some
