    I think Lorenzen, just because they'll want to coddle BobSteve a bit more and Lorenzen is a guy I see that can pitch out of the pen while Stephenson is a straight-up starter.

    I voted Lorenzen but barring another SP injury it will likely be Contreras with a September callup.

    Contreras -- on the 40-man and a BP arm.

    Re: First to the Majors?

    I don't think Lorenzen reaches the majors before Stephenson because they seem to really be watching Lorenzen's pitch counts. For example, yesterday he only went 65 pitches. I don't think they have any intention of starting Lorenzen at the MLB level until 2016, and I think The Engineer (it's not BobSteve, stop already) will pitch at some point in 2015.

    If he and Corcino both have success I bet we see them both this September.

    I want the stretching out of Lorenzen to continue, I really hope they don't bring him up as a reliever.

    Why did I think Corcino had already been with the big club?
