"One problem with people who have no vices is that they're pretty sure to have some annoying virtues."
From seeing this in season's past I think the managers pick guys who are still prospects and with a little weight to age/level, too. A Marquez Smith has little chance unless he is at AAA. I mean he should be tearing up Bakersfield at his age and experience level. And the minors have to market their games, too. If I go to a minor league AS game I want to see Jesse Winker, not Marquez or some other guy above his level. Age/level/experience probably worked against Elizalde, too.
99% of all numbers only tell 33% of the story so when looking at the numbers remember that numbers is plural...
Sal Romano of Dayton added today as an all-star. I believe Elizalde will also be added if there is a promotion of an outfielder or first baseman from the current list of names.
redsof72, can you give any color on promotions from Dayton?
Guys like Guillon, Langfield and Romano - do you see them heading to Bakersfield in the next month? Anyone else?
Also, what are your thoughts on Ervin and Rahier this year?
Go BLUE!!!
