I hope there's nothing to read into him riding pine today. I seriously doubt there is. Meant to add…if they are any indication, it looks like Craig will be in Springfield.

He's going from one extreme to another, and he already hit for a lot of power in the tougher context. For that reason I actually think it's reasonable to predict Craig will be on pace for over 30 HR at some point. The thing is, if he does hit that well he'll probably get promoted to Memphis by July and I'm not sure he can keep up the pace while adjusting to new and more advanced pitchers there. So I'll predict 28 HR with the assumption that it breaks down to something like 20 HR in 3 months at Springfield and 8 HR in 2 months at Memphis At-bats,hits,doubles,homeruns,walks,strikeouts,runs,rbis
