Why is darin downs said to be to old to be a prospect,but doing great.The cubs changed him to a bull pen guy,and rays thought he should go back to starting.this is only his second full long season in baseball.Isee many 25 to 28 year old pitchers making ther mlb fist outings.
ReplyDeleteWell Carlos Hernandez put up good numbers as an older guy in the FSL last year. They're not "prospects" to me but they do have a shot at the majors(albeit a small one).
