[Garmel]

Dustin Peterson has a homer in game one of today's doubleheader.

Dustin Peterson has a homer in game one of today's doubleheader.

Big time prospect.

[thethe]

Banuelos cruising again tonight.

Lavarnway hits another homer.

[thethe]

Banuelos with 7 scoreless with 3/7 bb/k.

[chop2chip]

Not too long until Manny is our 2nd lefty in the pen I would guess.

What are your thoughts on whether relief pitching has more of a negative impact on pitchers arms?

I'd rather not. Let him start until he hits his innings-limit, then shut him down and prepare to vie for a rotation spot next spring.

Fredi has a negative impact on relief pitcher's arms, but I don't know of any studies that suggest it is worse than starting.

[chop2chip]

I would prefer that route as well, but I don't think the company of John's can sit through many more bullpen meltdowns.

Well I'd hope that—as the initiators and architects of this rebuild—the three-headed AARPANET would be more (and not less) patient than either of us.

[Russ2dollas]

Big time prospect.

he seems like the guy that would shoot up rankings. Moving to LF hurts him. But he's young and he's raking with power.

[Tapate50]

Banuelos with 7 scoreless with 3/7 bb/k.

Guy is really coming on.

[Heyward]

I'd bring Manny up if he hits his inning limit.

Wouldnt do it now, let him keep starting.

[Enscheff]

The worst thing I can think of for a young pitcher coming off TJ surgery would be a BP assignment under Fredi Gonzalez.
