I bet they do nothing with him. He has proven that he is a 4A player. He kills pedestrian AAA pitching, but hasn't got a chance against Major leaguers. (edit: long quote --1992)

I guess the Twins organizational theory of drafting the best athlete has proven to be wrong also. A rule of thumb they have followed for two decades. Generalizations make great bumper stickers though.

Don't you think it give KC and Pitt another handy excuse for not succeeding. I can see the Royals using this to point out that even the draft is rigged against them. "We follow the slot recommendations and the big market teams ignore them so we can not even compete using the draft." If they lose Moustakas they will blame the system and not the fact they refuse to spend money. The said part is that the KC fans some of the best in baseball over the years are saddled with this ownership group.

Something needs to be done. The Tigers are making a joke out of the slotting recommendations and also making it more difficult for other teams to hold the line with other picks.

Coach32sm thank you. Hopefully some will allow facts to get in the way of their opinion. However, I doubt it. I am looking forward to seeing Angel in the big leagues. It is a shame that a young player has to lose 50 games because of ignorance, public relations and media driven paranoia. This is the 21st century and some folks want to pretend we are in the 19th. Pharmaceuticals are a huge part of our lives and will become a larger one. In most instances they have allowed us to live longer and enjoy a quality of life that folks even 20 years ago could never dream of. Everything is harmful if you abuse it or use it inappropriately. McDonald's Quarter pounders have done much more damage to teenagers than steroids or HGH.

Ned had little choice with Weeks. However there is no difference between the horrendously slumping Weeks and Graffy & Counsell this year. Weeks OPS = 0.710. Graffy OPS = 0.722 & Counsell = 0.674. Weeks right now is hitting like our 3B platoon was for weeks on end. Weeks has picked the wrong time to go into a slump. If he would have done this in April, even though the games count the same amount, Ned probably would have given him more rope. Weeks works hard and he and Skaalen will figure it out in the batting cage in a couple weeks.

The reason MLB warned them is because it is the type of pointless cheating that professional athletes do all the time. At the time of this incident I was having lunch with a collegue who couldn't understand all the fuss. He was a physicist and this pretty much summerized what he said at dinner that night. Including the effect of filling the bats with a viscous fluid like mercury or corn syrup (was his example). Some basic physics arguments WHen he was done explaining it to me my only reaction was how silly baseball players can be at times.
