    Most prospects with staying power go straight to the show from AA.

    I love Mangum, but you can populate a new country with AAA prospects that never made it that next step. And a handful of "rehab assignments" for true MLB guys on the mend.

    AAA is where players go and play out several frustrating years knowing they are just not quite good enough. Many of them become coaches, which is what I hope Jake does someday back in StarkVegas.

    That said, I hope I see him in the show and making a play or 2. No matter what, he's a SEC legend.

    That's not really true anymore. Almost all top prospects go through AAA. I agree with your main point though, which is that Jake is likely more of a AAAA player than a major leaguer. I do think he will get the call at some point in his career though. Hopefully this year when rosters expand.
