You keep glossing over what I'm saying. He didn't just have success in the low minors. He was 22 when he first started pitching in AAA. That's not that old.
-
Who cares what he did in college against metal bats? You can't read everything into college performance, but when your K/9 is 11.0 through 311 innings, scouts take notice. And Kennedy also did well in AA and AAA. Lester has better stuff and a better frame. He's clearly the better pitcher at this point, but you're selling Kennedy short if you don't think scouts were high on him.
-
You really don't know when to quit. Kennedy dominated in college and early on in A+, AA, and AAA. Lester had some hiccups early on with his command. Kennedy was the more refined pitcher in 2007.
-
Pretty sure example was being sarcastic.
-
Stop being an argumentative douchebag.
-
Anyone who closely follows college baseball and the Minors.
-
Kennedy was a stud at USC and advanced very quckly through the Yankees' farm system. I'm sure a lot of people thought he would be better than Lester.
-
Christian Friedrich is a name you should remember. Tampa Bay will have a filthy staff for many years to come. Garza, Shields, Price, Davis, Hellickson, Niemann. That's a lot of young talent.
-
I heard Mauer speak in Sarasota. He sounded sincere to me. When he signs an extension with the Twins, since I'll probably forget about this, here is a preemptive "I told you so."
-
Kelly is better than Westmoreland. Kelly has the stuff to make the jump next season, IMO. Westmoreland has a lot of tools, but it looks like he doesn't even shave. He has a lot of growing to do.

Hall of Fame Denies Dawson's Request for Cubs Hat
Keeper replied to a700hitter's topic in Other Baseball
I can't disagree with the decision to put Dawson in as an Expo, but it's s***** for him in the sense that he'll lose money-making opportunities. Baseball in Canada was a stupid idea to begin with. For the most part, Canadians only care about hockey. -
Mauer isn't going anywhere. He likes playing in his home state, and the Twins know that he's a franchise player.
-
-
That's not saying much.
-
Jim Thome signed a 1-year deal with the Twins. And Jon Garland signed a 1-year deal with the Padres.
-
Derrick Rose is really starting to come into his own. Good to see he's comfortable with being a go-to guy. Still not the go-to guy the Bulls need, but he's turned it up a notch the last few weeks. And he allegedly had flu-like symptoms tonight. A Bulls player with flu-like symptoms... that brings me back. There has been a lot of talk about the Bulls going after Tracy McGrady. That's something I would have been excited about 4 or 5 years ago. Now, not so much.

ARod wins postseason player of the year award

ARod wins postseason player of the year award
Keeper replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Other Baseball
I think what really took the pressure off ARod was Teixeira, even though he didn't do much in the postseason. ARod no longer has to be The Man. -
Hawks have hit a wall. They got an old-fashioned ass whoopin' tonight.
-
Truer words were never spoken.
-
Ugh, religion over baseball. What a bad decision. He'll regret it in a few years.
-
Ouch, that was a ghastly contract. Now that Rick Ankiel is on the Royals, I wonder how long it will take for Dojji to pine for him. I kid, I kid.

-
Jay Payton, now there's a name I haven't heard in awhile. Didn't even know he was still around.
-
If Bynum could stay healthy, I'd take him over Bosh as well for all of the reasons already mentioned. But through the previous 4 seasons, he's missed 115 games out of a total of 328. No thanks. Paul is twice the point guard that Rondo is. Rondo is a good two-way player, but he's not in Paul's league.
