    The service time clocks of players like Folty and Perez do stop when they are optioned to the minors. In the case of Banuelos, I think his being out of options does work to increase the odds he will not only make the team but also be in the starting rotation. It makes sense to try to develop as many of our prospects as starting pitchers as possible. Most won't make it but we shouldn't prejudge which ones will and which ones won't. Give them all as much of an opportunity as possible.

    Right now I would guess our rotation coming out of spring training will be:

    Teheran
    Wisler
    Norris
    Banuelos
    Chacin or Kendrick

    Both Chacin and Kendrick are on minor league deals. So one of them or even both can be cut loose at the end of spring training.

    First I thought this was Kyle Hendricks and was pretty excited. Then I realized it was Kendrick and got pissed. Hope Chacin beats him out. He's s better pitcher.

    That's #4 prospect Ryan Weber to you.

    First I thought Jimi Hendrix and wondered how that would even be possible.

    First I thought Anna Kendrick and figured, hey, unconventional, but she has a track record of achieving success against the odds, using unconventional methods and surrounded by cast of misfits.

    You mean there was an actual plot to movies she's been in???

    Hard to follow when you're busy perving her cleavage - LOL.
    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?

    Wouldn't mind seeing her stretch on my mound and deliver one high and tight.

    An Anna Kendrick thread wouldn't be the worst way to get through January.

    I feel like we also talked about an Anna Benson back in the day as well...

    At first I thought we signed Kendrick Lamar and was pretty okay with it. At least the stadium music would have been on point.

    Yeah, and the Anna Benson groupies are better off keeping quiet, along with the Nascar hicks.

    That's before she showed up in Kris' kitchen strapped with face paint. As opposed to her presentation when he met her, which was strapless with body paint.
