I’m honestly wondering what it’s going to take to get Allan Dykstra a promotion to AAA. The guy has done NOTHING but hit, and hit VERY well since he was traded for. He put up a .267/.389/.474/.861 line as a 24 year old in AA in 2011, followed it up with a .262/.423/.419/.842 line in half a season in 2012 in AA, and is hitting .271/.424/.427/.851 this year in AA as a 26 year old. Like… what more can he possibly DO? He was a first round pick, 23rd overall, in 2008, 5 picks after Ike, and 1 after Havens, actually. And it’s not like he hasn’t put up the numbers, he has. So again, what gives here?

Tonight, he gave up 8 hits, but no walks, so only 2 runs, while striking out 6 in 6 innings for his 4th win of the season. Jeffrey Walters pitches a scoreless, hitless 9th for his 10th save. Offensively, Allan Dykstra, Cory Vaughn, and Cesar Puello had multi hit games, Puello homered for the 5th time this season.
