This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

But then you watch him play and his ascent through the minor leagues against good pitchers has been consistently good. The only blip was some time lost to the wrist injury, but he picked up where he left off as soon as he came back.
I suspect that's why he wasn't drafted higher.
I'm telling you, he's going to be special. I have the same feeling him walk out the door as we all did when PCA was traded. Thankfully we got a better return than a shitastic half season of Javy f'ing Baez. Sorry going to go vomit again. Every Met fan I know worries is that this will be the next PCA, where we watch him start to shine somewhere else.
I'm curious where he's going to land on the Brewers prospect rankings. I suspect it will be near the top. He's one of those up the middle guys that people like Stearns loves.
