@Stephen: So that means you'd pick Gibson? I also realized I can claim Nishioka or Darvish too. I don't need immediate impact persay, I just need the good production when they do reach the majors. I'm willing to sacrifice half a year or so for better talent.

Any news on the Brett Lawrie timetable? I know he hit the shortened DL for a bit, but I haven’t heard anything else…

@JobaDoesn’tRule: Brandon Allen would get an opportunity too.

@cubbies299: Gibson should be up by 2012. Mesoraco is blocked and Jackson plays for the Cubs. I am not sure what Jackson’s ETA could be.

@Dude: You’re welcome.

In a dynasty league, would you draft Mesoraco, Brett Jackson, Garrett Cole, Kyle Gibson, or Carlos Martinez? Minor leaguers cost us $5, so they’re really not worth it unless they make good… fast. I can’t roster someone that Cameron Maybins around on my roster for 2 years.

My current Minors roster is: Rendon, Tailon, Jennings, Jacob Turner

Have to disagree about the DBacks being sellers. Allen will get another shot at first if they DFA Miranda and Goldschmidt will be added as a PH when rosters expand in September if they are still in the race.

@Racehorse: HA! We’re all in the same boat.

Desmond Jennings will be out for a couple of weeks due to a fractured right index finger. At this rate he’ll be in the majors by his 29th birthday.

All kidding aside, if DJ doesn’t immediately hit when he comes back from his broken finger I’m sure the Rays will have him work on it until mid-August of 2013 or so… yeah, I’m getting tired of waiting around…

@Dude: September.

@Slappy: Kevin Towers never stated it would be immediately after the All-Star break. However, I think they are sellers and move a few pieces. Once that occurs, Goldschmidt and Cowgill will be up.

@TheNewGuy: For this year, sure. However, Quentin’s injury history scares me. Long term, you answered your own question.

@Rich Arden: He is still recovering from his wrist injury. Mid-August at the earliest. More likely September.

@MrHappyTime: Maybe not his consistency. Talent yes.

@infernoscurse: I think he’s a very intriguing prospect. More of a novelty. Still appears to be performing well and we could eventually see him in the majors.

Is anyone buying Ricky Nolasco after his last 2 starts?

Any thoughts on Jays prospect Brett Lawrie?

Dude pulled out’ve our last deal. Now looks like we could do just Freeman (on my minor league team) for Quentin. Do need to improve my outfield and have all my CI positions filled so currently got no space for Freddie. Freddie would be a better keeper at his cheaper price but I’am playing to win this year. Solid enough deal?

how about Goldschmidt? what do you think the d’backs do with their roster now that the break is here?

Do you have a fearless prediction on when Dee Gordon comes back to majors? Odds it happens this month? Thanks!
