They are not thrilled with Pompey's D and want him down in AAA working on his routes
"Pompey will instead begin the year at Triple-A Buffalo to continue his development. Once there, the native of Mississauga will have to not only develop the bat but also show more consistency in the field, where Pompey has experienced a few issues this spring with poor routes to fly balls.
"He's still a work in progress there," Gibbons admitted. "He has tremendous range out there, but it's something he has to keep working on. One thing, guys struggle with the bat in this game, I don't care how good they are, but the one thing that has to be a given is defence. You shouldn't have to worry about that. You might struggle at the plate, but you still go out there and make the plays. He's concentrating hard on that."
