A guy that is hitting under .300 in AAA? I know he tore the cover off in Spring Training, but I think he needs to stay in AAA for a little while.

I agree, he would of course have to develop another pitch before starting but thats not too difficult. A change up could really benefit him or even a split for that matter.

Also i didnt know he was a starter in the minors but that was like 5/6 years ago.

Five bucks says that if Lidge left the stro's, he will pull some Beltran style season out of his *** and dominate!

If we got Kazmir here, it would be nuts. Funny seeing a kid that I grew up playing baseball with till high school, dominate in the MLB

Hunter and Conrad both looked good in the couple games I went to this season. Good things are brewing in Roundrock.

Beltran was good before he got here, good when he was here, and good now. I'm not surprised he plays awesome...Berkman still has better batting numbers!!!
Beltran is a Boras client...which means he's a money hungry **** gobbler.

Umm no, this guy is already 23 or 24 years old, he needs to be called up so we can see what he can do, if he is so special like so many people think he is then he will be ready and probably should have been called up a long time ago.

well, phil g. said that lane and burke have put in their time to get a starting spot. he did not say they were better. which really makes no since because you should play the better player no mater how much time they have put in!
