    I wonder what Justin's stuff is like these days - maybe it has deteriorated after all those injuries and he's just not the prospect he was before. :shrug: Serena's a card shark. 8)

    Depending on when Mateo comes off the DL, Juan could easily replace Carlos in the WT rotation and then Gallagher won't get promoted. I still think Sean will get promoted to AA right after the FSL all-star game.

    Not sure why he was demoted from AA New Britain, where he was doing pretty well (2-2, 3.25 ERA, 29/15) to high-A Ft. Myers. I can't pull up the article any longer, but a google news search coughed up this tidbit: To make room for Garza, the Rock Cats sent lefthander Justin Jones (1-2, 2.61 ERA in four starts) to Fort Myers. Matt Garza was promoted from Ft. Myers. Garza is one of Minnesota's top prospects and was well-deserving of his promotion. Still don't understand why Justin was demoted, coulda sent someone else down!!

    So with Pujols and Carpenter hurt, will Dusty not get extended if the Cards don't tank a la the Cubs?

    I really don't think Carlos will have the control yet to be effective, but I'm pleased. He's one of my favorites. You might be right, but not every pitcher needs Greg Maddux-like control to get the job done. His WHIP of 1.16 is quite respectable especially for a starter and he is K'ing more than a batter per inning. If he can strike people out, he can be an effective reliever. Of course, he needs to believe in himself like Marshall does. If he can relax and pitch his game, he can succeed, can't he? While his WHIP is good, his control is still questionable. More than likely, it will worsen when he gets to the big leagues (as it does for most pitchers). He's still very raw, as kctigers put it.

    Drew Stubbs. He should be gone, though.

    Woulda been fun to go against all you Mizzou folk. There's still time. A Mizzou win and UCLA loss gives us the matchup. And that's what happened. Mizzou and UCLA go at it at for the right to try to beat Pepperdine twice in a row, with the first being later that day. Projected starters are Freshman Rick Zagone for Mizzou and Junior Tyson Brummett for UCLA. Poor Huff today. :( It's on now... Go Bruins! :D

    Si.

    I wasn't aware of the character issues with Drabek. Are the concerns legitimate? If so, I'd go with Kershaw as well. Extremely legitimate. I posted a Premium BA link in the thread about him - the confirmed concerns are (past?) drinking problems, accidents and outbursts on and off the field. The unconfirmed rumors involve steroid usage. That said, he's a top-5 talent and some team will take him in the first round - the Dodgers might be that team - or they might not want to have problems after drafting Hochevar last year.

    Yeah, this was the year after JD messed with the Phillies and folks weren't sure he'd sign. He was a consensus top-3 pick (along with Burrell and Mulder) otherwise.
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Greenberg? I heard already... :( Wow. :(
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Drew Stubbs.

    UCLA defeated UCI 3-2, thanks in part to Hector Amrbiz's CG. They play the winner of Mizzou-Pepperdine. Pepperdine leads it right now 3-1 in the 9th.
