Why is Berrios closing? More evidence of stupidity?
easing him into it would be my guess, who knows how many innings he has thrown this year thus far.Quote:

Hicks, Arcia with 1 hit each already. Hermannananannanananannannnnnn has 2 hits.
Benson 3 hits.
Ortiz 2 hits.
Sano 2 hits, 1 2B
Kepler a HR away from the cycle.
Harrison 1 hits and zero errors!
this one is interesting to watch on how MN handles him. Berrios IS a first round pick.Quote:

Not the rule, but as a tradition yes. One that I absolutely hate. However, when they've had MLB caliber stars they do move quickly through the system (like Arcia has done).Quote:

why isnt a first round (supplemental I know) high school pick able to be compared to another high school first round pick (#4 I get it)???Quote:

gcl is essentially double extended spring training where they keep stats. that gcl staff is loaded and the guys starting have more experience - malinowski and gibbons have been at the complex all year, montanez started last year, rosario, jorge and landa pitched in the dsl last year - not to mention there are about ten arms that could/should be starting on that staff and they've already had to incorporate a bunch of rehab starts (gibson, bromberg, salcedo) so there's nothing to be bent about.Quote:
