    If he is ready bring him up. We have watched Griffey and Trout and others succeed at 21 - the trend in MLB the last few years is to get prospects to the majors quicker. If he is prone to injury it is just as likely i the minors as the majors. So lets get his bat where it belongs in Minneapolis.

    Actually - I do. I want the starters conditioned to throw 125 a game.

    I guess all those complete game pitchers in the the last century must have been injured and we never knew it.

    If we trade Ryan as expected what next? That removes Rojas for BP to replace Ryan. Then we have a rotation that lacks an Ace, a BP that lacks shut down arms. Not good for a run to the playoffs. I am worried about Ober. I see Gomez, Morris, and Raya needing to continue or step up. I like Parades approach and keep him. The rest do not give me any encouragement. We will be forced to keep Rogers and Erze, but they are not good. Then what? First we start forcing SP to go seven, even the third time through they are better than the alternatives. Second we bring up Culpepper and we experiment with more minor league arms.

    Why just 5? With our BP we need starters to go 7

    We had similar angst with Santana and France - too quick for us commenters to pull the trigger.

    Am I delusional? It seems like our system is short on quality pitching, only a couple really seem like they have major league potential. I would love to see our prospect list dominating by pitchers.

    St Louis Cardinals with Ozzie Smith and the Aparacio/Fox White Sox will always be memorable teams - I like fielding.

    Time to move on - give Fedko a period of consistency, they be prepared to move on from both with Gonzales and Jenkins.

    The trouble is you really have to go back to when we were leading after three four or five enemies

    great - seven innings, how about 8? Trusting the BP is like putting out the fire with a liquid called gasoline. Let's change it from bullpen to Heiferpen!

    Long enough to raise questions. We have had too many good players on IL

    Our site wrote off Lee in many early posts and comments. I am so glad we had patience. The answer to who will be the next core might include Lee.

    A few years ago we had the same expectations that seem to swarm about the OF depth of Walker, Gonzales, Rodriguez, Roden with Lewis, Kiriloff and Larnach. The shine fades quickly. The IL visits of this next batch of saviors has dampened my enthusiasm. So far Jenkins has played 224 games in 5 1/2 seasons or 40 games a year. In those 5.5 years Emmanual Rodriguez has averaged 58 games a year. Those are the two top rated. Can we count on them?
