I would believe he’d be in the majors, barring any set backs, by 2012. Double-A in 2011, and Triple-A in 2012 with a June to September call up. His early numbers are eerily similar to Adam Dunn’s. Not saying they are the same player, just saying they have similar stat lines in the minors at similar ages. See for yourself.

As with all minor league prospects, patience is key and probably best for most.

How quickly can this kid move through the KC system? I’m very confident he’s gonna be something special.

It is true, it’s more of a hitters league than most minor league leagues. However, he still pitches in a hitters park and that much stands.

@Cal cheats: I don’t see that happening unless the Reds are going to give up Yonder Alonso. I personally want to see Lee in Minnesota, but I don’t think it will happen. My best guess, and that is all it is, Boston, NYM, or MN

I don’t like Bay long term, and he hasn’t really hit for power yet this year. Could you get anyone else for him?

@GopherDay: I’d do a write up of him, but I did a Cubs player recently. I try to keep the StU’s spread around the league. He’s definitely on my radar though and thanks for the recommendation.

@vinko: I do now, but he is going to start on Thursday and not today. Via Rotoworld, Jun. 30 – 10:43 am et Travis Wood will be recalled from the minors to make his major league debut in a start against the Cubs on Thursday.
It was expected all along, but the Reds made the official announcement Wednesday morning. Wood, 23, is 5-6 with a 3.12 ERA and 1.08 WHIp”

@Anthony: I agree, but I don’t like Bay long term. Selling Soren now though may produce the highest return of investment.

Closers are a dime a dozen. Bay still has some years left in the tank. I wouldn’t be shocked to see him erupt here soon.

Never thought I’d see my QS’s go backwards but they have done it again. Lets see, dildo Manual runs Lidge out there without letting him pitch for over a week to get blown up and then lets Halladay throw out his arm……dude needs to go

He’s shooting up through the Cubs’ farm system, but is running under the radar.

I have been offered Bay for Storen and could use some power numbers. Just not sure about Bay producing the rest of the season. Thoughts?
