Kevin, why Kimbrel over Teheran? Are you hedging Teheran's flame-out potential?

Randall Delgado isn't in the AFL. Heck, the Braves don't even send their players to Surprise - they go to Phoenix. Perhaps due to some laziness you didn't recognize that the R. Delgado in the box score is actually Ramon Delgado, he's in the St. Louis system.

So does this mean we can expect MLU's to be MIA?

"He's arguably the best pure hitter in the game" What about Pujols, Mauer, A-Rod, Adrian Gonzalez, Braun, Hanley Ramirez? You can argue Heyward is better, but I assert that you would lose the argument, and quickly.

Brandon Erbe's pitched four and a third innings in his most recent start on Friday Oct. 30th and struck out five. However, he did make two starts prior to that and overall has thrown nine innings in the AFL and tallied nine strikeouts.

Is Tabata really playing in Venezuela? I see he's listed on the Scottsdale roster in the AFL.

Why was Kelvin de la Cruz transferred to Mahoning Valley? Is he injured?

Also, you mentioned McGowan threw yesterday but missed a reaction due to deadline...Any further updates?

Any updates on Scott Baker? Will he be ready to come back next week?

Yankees 6/126, 12/11

I\'d argue Hughes is very much in the plans for the Yankees next season. I\'m not so sure getting him time in the AFL is anything more than getting him developmental innings this year. Let\'s not forget Hughes was hurt and missed a lot of time this summer. What better chance for Hughes and the Yankees to get him innings than in the AFL against the top minor league talent? I would imagine the innings Hughes will throw in the AFL are preferred over an invitation to instructs. As for next season, I wouldn\'t be surprised to see Hughes start in AAA, with the Yankees picking up a short term back of the rotation guy.
