Minor League Ball Sadness ...

Minor League Ball Garza/Slowey/Terry Ryan

This has become a bizarre siuation ... first Garza was seemingly banished from the major league roster in Spring Training after simply OWNING hitters ... then his numbers are hurt in AAA b/c he was asked to work on his secondary stuff (and being disappointed) etc ...

Who is still arguing that keeping these guys in AAA (or getting them there so quickly) isn't affecting there development/careers? This is going to get uglier through the years (esp for Delmon) ...
