The countdown to Justice's "It's time for Jordan Lyles" column begins now. Over/under is Friday.
I assume that there is no way Lyles is brought up. They will cycle through more Figueroa types before Lyles comes up. It's understandable considering service time and if they feel that Lyles needs more work down there.
What I don't understand is why they didn't just publically state at the beginning of spring training that "He will be in AAA to start the year, regardless." While the promise of him making it may have created a minor buzz in ST, it also created unrealistic expectations from some fans, and it ultimately created confusion as he arguably earned the spot in ST but was sent down anyway.
