Minor League Scorebook
News
- Time to start with the big story, Jeff
Passan's Yahoo article about Clayton Kershaw. What is most
interesting about it is not what it says about Clayton —
the Minotaur almost defies superlatives — but what it says
about Ned Colletti's view of prospects:
"People can become enamored watching prospects play in the minor leagues," Colletti says. "It's always been there. It's heightened with the way communication is now. The Internet. Cell phones. The interest is overwhelming."
Must ... stifle ... urge ... to ... kill ..."What can be lost on them in the excitement of accomplishment is how good the big-league player is," Colletti says. "I believe it's difficult to play in the big leagues. I always try to measure what I'm seeing myself and what I'm hearing, and how that will play in a different environment. I have to hold back from time to time."
But of course, how can you know whether they've burned out unless you give them enough time, Ned? Seriously, there just about couldn't be a worse time for that level of stupidity to be uttered if Ned tried. If there were any justice on this earth, he'd be fired, not just right now but yesterday....
Then Colletti remembers Edwin Jackson, with the Dodgers under a previous regime, and Matt Riley and Rick Ankiel and David Clyde and a dozen others summoned too early. Fractured psyches or arm troubles or control issues or burnout — all of them, up as teenagers, bombed hard.
- After naming Mason Tobin organizational Pitcher of the Month in April, the Angels put him on the DL retroactive to May 11, with a right triceps strain. Replacing him on the Cedar Rapids roster will be LHP Chris Armstrong from AAA Salt Lake.
- Jason Schmidt — speaking of imaginary creatures — is ready for his second rehab start.
- Here's today's Angels and Dodgers system wraps.
