And make it worse!!!!!!!!!

The hitters have got to hate that place.

The results may decline but in this day & age one would hope there is enough data to discern whether or not the output will play at the MLB level. Hitters don't go to Norfolk and suddenly suck. The park has an impact. I assume they are somewhat graded on a curve.... but with this organization (historically speaking), who knows.

I hate when prospects are relegated to Norfolk. In this age of analytical enlightenment I presume they'll be able to determine who's skill set will play in the big leagues, but historically I feel like that's where bats have gone to die.

Yeah, I get the advantages of holding players back due to service time. I think when you've got a "can't miss" guy, you're more likely to see that. I don't think I'd go so far as to anoint Diaz a "can't miss" guy.

I would assume once they believe the player can handle the level of competition, they'll be promoted.

I'd be surprised if he was. Elias was on yesterday with Melewski and he said something to the effect of "Diaz hasn't seen any time at AAA yet, but we're very excited he's on our side." As an aside, it's really hard to listen to Elias talk and NOT feel confident about the future. What an impressive guy.

I'd much rather be downplaying success in Spring Training than facepalming over the lack thereof.

You're impressive.

A moment I'll never forget. You could hear people all around the office yelling in their cubes while they listened to the game. Maybe my favorite all time Joe Angel call... and that's saying something.

Luis Ortiz is probably the best SP prospect.

What a weird day.

It's fun because it's a definitive signal that something BIG has changed in the front office. I'm with you otherwise. It's a very good sign.

LOL

How fun is this????

This would cause me to poop my pantaloons.

Nobody knows.

Imagine if nothing happens. Hahahaha... breathe people!!!!!!!!!!

He's a big kid, I'm sure he could grow one by 4pm EST.

It's his haircut.
