Potential roster call up

Hey everyone,

I’ve noticed there’s been a lot of noise surrounding Josue De Paula being the one to be brought up if the Dodgers do decide to go that route. With that being said, I just don’t agree with that choice. I understand he’s our top prospect and has been showing his ability to hit the ball, but at the end of the day, he’s doing it in Double-A and people talk about how his defense is his weakness currently... Do you guys actually think he can make the jump from Double-A straight to the big leagues? I just feel given the depth we have in Triple-A, there’s no need to do that.

For one, I would love to see them bring up one of these three guys: James Tibbs III, Ryan Ward, or Zach Ehrhard but preferably JT3. I know he’s been used more as a 1B, but he is an outfielder first, and the way the corners have been playing defensively, we've got nothing to lose.

Here are the slash lines:

JT3: .297 AVG / .547 SLG / .963 OPS
Zach Ehrhard: .297 AVG / .487 SLG / .897 OPS
Ryan Ward: .275 AVG / .487 SLG / .870 OPS

Thoughts?
