Thomas Diamond

I've noticed not a lot has been mentioned about him during the fall instructionals (perhaps because he is not present) but generally im wondering if he will return next year to establish himself as a legitimate prospect. His velocity was down after TJ surgery but i'm sure that will improve (like with Frankie Frank).

What does the team do with him next year? Does he start out at AA again or do you start him up at AAA.

Another option, i think, is to put him in the bullpen  (like Rupe this year). Let him get acclimated to the major league environment and in 2010 he goes to the rotation.

your thoughts....?

Yah, I’m bringing it back just for Aneel.

Though I must admit this is a better diary than his calling out Brandon McCarthy diary, which made me ashamed to post here.

Or, that’s the hope anyways.

 why are you getting defensive responding to Dirk’s post to Aneel? are you and aneel the same guy under different names? because that’d be…….nevermind, it’s pointless

He went to dry out earlier this year

Looks like it didn’t help him.

I'm starting to think that Steal Home

has gotten a new screen name and started to post as someone

Can we please get rid of this trivial bullshit?

This place is becoming newbergreport.com (although it has gotten better over there) with all the stupid people and their shtick.

Email Adam

In fact, I suggest that everyone who has a problem with this kind of stuff email Adam and tell him…..repeatedly.

I guess the one good thing about it

It’s only a few guys, if you did decide to take care of it.

by Brett Perryman on Oct 12, 2008 12:43 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

It's 1 guy right?

I thought Aneel & Seasmurf were the same person.

by LiamP on Oct 12, 2008 1:43 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don't know who Aneel is

Was mostly referring to Seth and Seasmurf, among other superfluous handles, being the product of two guys.
