        Does it matter, even if we could measure it? That is not what DDN is saying. -- nm - con_carne Jun 29, 16:46 2
        
        "Well, would you rather have the US to lead that commission?" - Stephen Jun 29, 16:53 1
        
        and that is the problem not the human rights but the lack of clear sight - Danedukenuuk Jun 29, 18:07

groiny, if you're not talking about a September callup, I'll take that bet. (nm) - musubi Jun 29, 14:53 17
- september callups don't count? nm -- nm - groiny Jun 29, 14:56 16
  - I don't count it, because it's usually not a permanant call up for most prospects. - musubi Jun 29, 14:59 15
    - he is currently in Double A, so there is a chance he gets a long look in Spring Training. - groiny Jun 29, 15:00 14
      - He's currently made a total of 1 start in AA. I'll bet you $10 he won't be in major league spring training by the time - musubi Jun 29, 15:04 13
        
        Errr, those last two should be with the caveat "barring injury to at least 2 ML starters." (nm) - musubi Jun 29, 15:06 6
        
        *stands behind musubi...naked...just because* [nm] - Mel Profit Jun 29, 15:17 2

        as long as you have Santana, that is a very real possibility. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 29, 15:06
        
        I will take the $10 that he will not appear in the majors at all in 2012. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 29, 15:05 5
        
        Can I get the exception for catastrophic string of pitching injuries? - musubi Jun 29, 15:07 4
        
        hells no. - groiny Jun 29, 15:09 3
        
        Grrr. That's too iffy then. He's got a 50/50 shot at a Sept callup if everything goes as planned. - musubi Jun 29, 15:12 2
        
        See, I see pitchers get called up all the time if they dominate AA as well. - groiny Jun 29, 15:15 1
        
        Yeah, but this is Harvey's first professional season. Not like a HS draftee who's spent 2-3 years working his way up the minors. - musubi Jun 29, 15:22

You're not going much out on a limb when you call a hot dog or hamburger people are willing to wait half an hour for overrated. -- nm - con_carne Jun 29, 14:42
That's exactly it. Teheran, Freeman and Minor (I think Kimbrel too) were all top 100 prospects. Where the eff did Beachy come from? - musubi Jun 29, 14:41 7
- He had a 1.7 ERA at AA and AAA last year. - David Jun 29, 14:59 4
  - Prior to 2010, he wasn't a full blown prospect though, right? - musubi Jun 29, 15:11 3
    - No, that's why I mentioned Morton, who also went from unknown to a solid prospect when he was around 23. - David Jun 29, 15:15 2
      - Beachy's K:BB rate is disgustingly good. (nm) - musubi Jun 29, 15:27 1
        
        Teheran's leading the International League in ERA, too. - David Jun 29, 15:42
- he was in the Braves top 10 prospects last season. -- (link) - groiny Jun 29, 14:47 1
  - Which is exactly what I said.... - musubi Jun 29, 14:49
Speaking of Prince Albert... if you're an attractive girl, do you give some schmuck the time of day if you know he's the Prince of Monaco? -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Jun 29, 14:40 2

      - you don't help USC's case for being a world-class institution with posts like these -- nm - moles Jun 29, 14:48 4
        
        Neil Armstrong is tempted to tear up his degree because of me, but that's a risk I'm willing to take to speak the truth. (nm) - musubi Jun 29, 14:51 3

        i would even talk baseball statistics with you -- nm - moles Jun 29, 15:01
    - I wonder if this will be a Texas type situation - where we got an IN N Out burger and people flock to it - Epiphany Jun 29, 14:45 4
      - LA natives don't seem to know much or care about Chik Fil A as far as i can tell. the east coast transplants will be all over it i reckon -- nm - moles Jun 29, 14:46 3
        
        I'm not that surprised they're unaware of the glory which is Jesus Chicken� -- nm - Qale Jun 29, 16:47
        
        Isn't it closed on Sundays? Next! -- nm - con_carne Jun 29, 15:04
