    Josh Rivera had a great season for the Florida Gators. But has struggled in his pro debut. Jeremy and Jamie don't have similar views on the Cubs prospect.

    Rivera got a slightly aggressive promotion to South Bend to start full-season ball, was terrible for his first dozen games, and has blistered the ball since then.  This isn't even the most stark dividing line you can draw, but it's a clean one:

    First 3 weeks/series: 54 PA, .188/.259/.250, 47 wRC+

    Next/Final 3 weeks/series: 49 PA, .318/.388/.568, 165 wRC+

    I'm not gonna expect him to pick up with a 165 wRC+ next year, but it seems safe to call those first couple weeks an adjustment period(skipping low-A, long season, etc) that he successfully worked past.
