    It is ridiculous. However, if they decide to call him up in June along with Price and Mcgee, they could be really good. However I doubt Mcgee or Price make an appearance this season (maybe a september call up).

    A lot of other young guys who could be helping their teams are being sent down. Already we've seen Colby Rasmus and Steven Pearce. It also looks like Jay Bruce will be sent down in favor of Corey Patterson in Cincinnati.

    hello drayton, this is me. milwaukee just released claudio vargas. he might not be good enough to make their rotation but could be your #3 starter or even one of your better arms out of the pen. you and ed wade are doing a bang-up job.

    be sure to pay him when he clears waivers. 6 more wins this years to get to 78 is going to be great. thanks.

    We got a good look at a future cy young winner today. Clayton Keshaw (20-year-old pitcher for the Dodgers) mowed down a strong Brewers lineup today. 3 innings and 6 K's while only giving up 1 hit. I don't think he'll make the big league club right away, but I'd be surprised if he isn't called up sometime in the summer. Nasty stuff.

    IMO, he and Johnny Cueto will fight it out for NL ROY. I'll say Cueto wins because he'll be in the majors from the start of the season.

    sweet. i guess i know where you are. honeycutt claims he would give kershaw a shot if he keeps proving himself. they may go the scott kazmir route and do it foregoing experience. hes definitely in handful of top pitching prospects maybe second behind clay bucholz.

    cueto and volquez will have much more playing time and opporunity. id guess kershaw's chance comes next year. the dodgers dont have options on one of their asian dudes so they gotta keep him up.

    volquez threw today almost as effectively.
