I have been unable to find a good time to bring guys up to the big club and my AAA club is getting crowded (mind you I need to cut some guys from there).

I'm desperate for pitching on my main club but don't know if any of these guys would help (you'll notice D'Amico in AAA as he's just not cutting it)

What about CC. Sabathia?

It's really too early to tell from their minor league stats. Remember that if they're grade-A prospects, don't call them up unless you can use them that season, no need to start the arbitration clock a season too early.

Look at their ERA ratings... a 6 is good enough to be in the majors and a 5 can hold his own if you're desperate. If you don't have any of those go with the guys with good HA and BB ratings that hopefully can K some people.

Sarabia MIGHT be able to succeed if his ERA rating goes up quickly. Same with D'amico. Other than that you're looking at Sabathia and Guthrie.

Hmm ok...I wasnt sure if it was good to bring them up at a 5 or a 6, same for hitters?

Jeremy Guthrie would be my pick

Good lord. That's a lot of minor leaguers. I'd get rid of half of them asap, having too many guys in your minors programs can ****** their development.

btw, Black Lightning, your sig is killing my browser.

Yeah I wondered if it was overkill but I'm still getting a feel for how many I should have

I have a bunch of extras but nobody wants to trade for the guys that are 2-3 stars, they all want the 4-5 guys..
