Once Pompey admitted he was playing "scared", he played himself out of the position. I think the Jays did mishandle him in that he shouldn't have been up to start with, not his demotion. Hindsight is 20/20, I thought that Pompey was able to handle himself after last season's performance and early spring training. Think Keith Law and other "pundits" thought the same so the Blue Jays weren't completely out of blue when he was up.
The comments about being away from the media is also a little concerning, but I am putting stock into something I know nothing about so it doesn't say much. Either way, hopefully he is able to build his way back. Solid so far for NH.
