bigruss Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 QUOTE (sircaffey @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 12:18 PM) Can this organization develop the single A prospects that it acquires? We seem to develop pitchers very well, it's the hitters we struggle with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a AA guy at this point. I am guessing they accelerate this guy to a debut late this year or next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you consider Dan Hudson and Chris Sale things that havent worked, I would say moving guys through the system quickly has been a decent philosophy of late.

Milkman delivers Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 QUOTE (DirtySox @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 12:09 PM) Is Nestor the only piece? I would have thought you could squeeze another fringy piece in for Santos. That was my first thought, but I like the trade anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Showtime Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Even if Kenny isn't lying about not trading the starters now, they certainly have some offensive players and relievers they could move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps. No starting minor league time for Sale could hurt though. We'll see this year. I'd also argue that Beckham being rushed hurt as well. I hope Kenny sticks to what he said in that he won't rush him. Do him like the Rays do. If rebuilding, this team isn't doing anything next year anyway.
