Cruz's Latest Outing

In a victory for the Rivercats in memphis Juan Cruz continues to impress throwing 6 innings, striking out 7 while walking 3 in route to allowing only one run(a solo shot) to continue to lower his era.

I think Juan has nothing left to prove right now in AAA ball. He is absolutely dominating hitters every appearnce. I think he is worlds more comfortable starting games rather than coming out of the pen. This is unfortunate because Saarloos is pitching well and we have Kennedy in the bullpen(which Urban called a blonde Mark Redman when saying he doesnt fit with the team). I had diamond level seats today and Kennedy seemed to be pitching very well. What would you like to see in this situation?

I like the status quo for now
BB has mentioned that we don't have room for injuries to our squad.  We now do have a little breathing room in case one of our starters go down because we have Kennedy and Cruz waiting in the wings.

If you're Beane, you tell Cruz to keep sharp and keep ready in case he's needed on the big-league club.  I'm sure Cruz still has some things he needs to work on that he can afford to work on in AAA.

I just think that in the long run, 2 extra starters of big-league quality is a luxury few can enjoy.  In fact, few can enjoy 5 good starters!

The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face.
