He has certainly earned it. One step away…

Twins pitching prospect Zebby Matthews was promoted to AAA. He started in High-A this year, and he posted a 1.95 ERA in 55 innings at AA with 63 strikeouts and six walks.

Hell yeah!!! Can't wait to see him torch AAA hitters. Get him a couple starts to prove he's got the stuff and get him in the rotation to replace Paddack where he will undoubtedly continue to strike out lots of people walk nobody and allow nobody to hit fly balls out of the infield. Yes. That's what I'm going to go with. I like that future.

wow. Aggressive, and I approve of this.

We are on the doorstep of the Era of Zebulon.

Fun to see. Two hurdles to go.

Huh! For some reason I never correlated Zebby and Zebulon as variables of the same name but now it's so obvious.

Just don't call him late to the mound!

Dadgumit! I never made it out to see him in Wichita!  Love the aggressive move though.  99 with control plays up, I guess.

Bighat is going to be calling for his promotion to the show tomorrow.

I remember bighat calling for it when he did his free Brock/Bruce/Brooks Lee thread. Sorry I missed yours or I'd have given the proper credit.
