But isn't the career K-rate hugely dependent on when you call them up? 
You have to give a prospect the chance to consolidate his gains in order for the k% to decline.  When you agressively promote a raw, toolsy player with limitted prior baseball experience, while adding in switch hitting, what do you expect?
He is demonstrating a vastly accelerated learing curve - the k's are dwindling month by month.  
How long do you leave him down? Long enough so that he can accumulate the requisite number of ABs to lower his k-rate to acceptable levels? Seems a silly paradigm.
