You forgot ambidextrous pitcher Pat Venditte.

I've never paid attention to it before, but why do minor leagues hand out awards before the season is over?

Did everyone see those stats above! Holy f***ing bananas!

In Sammy Sosa's 20HR month he hit a mere .298 with a piddling .842 SLG and 25 runs scored.

So, he's a big slugging 1B in the Phillies minor league system, but he's getting into his mid 20s and is blocked by Major League 1B whom the Phillies have locked up? Sounds oddly familiar.

there's rumors that the phillies will be calling ruf up now that it's september and give him a look in LF.

The only good players ever to come from Creighton, despite its proximity to the College World Series, are Dennis Rasmussen, Scott Servais, and Alan Benes.

Yeah, Bob Gibson sure sucked at baseball.

They better. He is 26 and has had a monster AA year. Even if he isn't a real prospect he deserves a MLB callup as a reward for his year (or, rather, a reward for his last month). It's the right thing to do.

What if McCoy offers you Soriano for Ruf?
