I liked Mallex until I saw him hit. I dont like his swing one bit. Good to see Sims with a good game though, hope he has a big second half.

Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
He was not a top prospect before the year, but after 50 games of AA he is?

More generally, I would say it is a good thing to start the season with good players in AAA, our "second bench." I would like to see guys like Smith, Peraza and Castro in AAA at the start of next season. There are service time considerations that argue for this. More importantly, there is a lot of variance in player performance from year to year. Maybin is doing very well this year, but maybe he regresses next year. We don't know which of Smith, Peraza or Castro will take a step forward in 2016. Maybe they all do. Maybe none do. Maybe just one. Jace Peterson has had a fine rookie season, but he is not a sure thing either. The best protection against this uncertainty is to have as many options as possible.

Some players on Twitter were congratulating David Peterson on his promotion to Triple A. Pretty quick move after only about seven innings at Double A.
You may very well be right. But the cost in terms if trade chips and/or dollars for a player that’s better than, say, a potential (yeah, yeah, I know) .290 with 15 homers and 20 steals is going to be way, way high, and might better be spent at catcher, third, or on an ace. Although I, personally, would settle for some combination of Uribe and K Johnson at third if we can improve the other two. Catcher, especially, is going to be pricy.
Both Peterson and Marksberry have already had the TJ surgery.
Dakota Dill (remember that name!) had it last year. This is his recovery year. They will move him fast next year.
