This is likely the real question, come June 1-July 1:  Why NOT give Deej and Kivlehan a shot IF they are beating up AAA pitching?  That will be the case for one of them, perhaps both.
So do you artificially hold them down when Morrison DL's or Ackley craters or Ruggiano isn't what we thought we were getting?  One of those things might just happen by July 1.  OK, I know, you can just plug Romero in.  I like that....but what if Deej is hitting AAA like Romero did last year?  I uderstand "learning curves," I really do....but such curves likely occur for all young guys coming to the majors.  To hold down your best young talent just because they might have some MLB adjustment to do doesn't make a lot of sense to me.  That adjustment may always be there. 
If Deej or Kivlehan were killing the PCL throwers, why wouldn't you give them the bat and say, "Just hit the ball!"
