Following him all year, I've been. Listening to a lot of Elvin Bishop, too.

AAA stats don't necessarily mean anything at the MLB level. But, given the late inning fuck-ups lately, it's about time we had some new young blood.

Beato soon...Mejia possibly eventually...If they're going to blow games late, I'd rather see youngsters gaining experience while doing it.

Yeah, AAA stats don't mean much, necessarily. But the peripherals-- especially the K/9 and HR/9 numbers-- are trending in the right direction as he moves up. And wouldn't you rather have someone who did WELL in the minors than, say, Egbert, or Carson?
