Sure he has no business being in anybody's prospect list based on results, but out of the 8 everyday at the QC can we honestly say we'd rather all of them get at bats before Jones? Not me, seems to me that Jones is on the Chris Duncan development path and should repeat Low A. Hopefully third time's a charm... Again, if so, he ends next year at High A as a 21 year old... Seems like a decent progression to me... Then again, I am a died in the wool Jones apologist...

The guy looks like a pro wrestler...

I'm interested in why Todd keeps getting mentioned as a future MR (more so than other guys), when his numbers are reliably so dominant in the different settings we've had him in so far. Yes, ALL minor league pitchers could end up as MRs...but why do we hear it so much more about Todd? Or is this just one original thought that has been amplified forward to the point of typecasting? Nice to see Ingram's numbers. Especially the 3 HRs. In scanning the stats for the Instr. league, Todd and Ingram’s are the ones that just leap out as head and shoulders above everyone else’s.

Perez was an exception becuase he was close to being ready and it was believed his delivery was so forceful that he might injure himself if he went more than a few innings at a time.
