nice debut last night -- struck out 7 in 4 innings with a 97mph fast ball working -- gave up 1 run. Really looking forward to watching this guys progress this year

Isnt that "A" ball? I am hoping they plan to move him up quickly.

High A Ball. That is a pretty advanced start, at least for this organization. Makes sense to let him get his feet wet in pro ball in the the florida warmth instead of risking bad weather in the eastern league. Plus you have much of the development staff still in Bradenton for extended spring training. I expect he'll advance to Altoona in June or July.

I was hoping to see him in the rotation when they break camp next year.

I don't see that happening. That would really be an aggressive track. I would be ecstatic with a mid-season call up in 2013.

It wouldn't be "too" out of the question though, being an advanced college arm.

They probably want to maximize his time with Taillon though so they probably aren't in that much of a hurry.

Yeah, but the Bucs would likely be conservative if for no other reason than they don't want to start the clock on his major league service time. So even if he looks ready I'd expect him not to make the team out of camp.

Steel, you got me bro. Here I am thinking Cole made his High A debut and you just resurrected the thread because he made his AA debut.
