They like Mondesi as much as you do. I'm going down to NWA this summer with a few buddies, hope to see him play. (Actually I hope he's already in Omaha by that point). I still believe Zimmer is our top prospect whenever he gets healthy. He was just cruising in Arizona and throwing 96mph. Dayton said on a recent interview the plan was to break camp with him competing for the 5th rotation spot, so the brass had no doubts about him either. His shoulder is really hurting our flexibility this winter. Now we HAVE to get a starting pitcher. |

Playing behind Almonte for Peoria today will be Mondesi and two other well-regarded Royals prospects -- center fielder Bubba Starling
"Well regarded" is a bit funny given Bubba is 8-57 (.140) in Arizona with 24k and 1bb. |

22 and struggling in A Ball. If he doesn't take a leap this year, he's done

When the Giancarlo Stanton contract runs out (assuming it's 10 years) the Mets will still have to pay Bobby Bonilla for 9 more years.

The rumor is that the opt-out clause might be after the 2019 season, which will be weird. Usually opt-outs are near the end of the contract but in this case we'd essentially have a 5-year contract followed by an 8-year player option.

I've seen so busy through October and November that I didn't get to one single Fall League game this year. It's a shame because it's great watching young guys like that.

Yea Heyman said Stanton wanted to see improvements on the team and if that doesn't happen within 5 years he can opt out and go wherever he wants.

Apparently Aaron Crow ruffled some feathers (mostly 610) with these comments today.

Don't see what the problem is. He acknowledged he sucked and wants to get better.

Not really Shilock. He said he was "bothered" that he didn't get any time in October. He's a whiny little bitch who has been atrocious for 2 full years now and if he wasn't DM's first rounder, he'd be long gone already.

Hey Crow, if you're so "bothered" by it, learn how to throw a fastball in the upper 90s. If you don't, you're done.
