The key to this process is my remembering it’s Thursday! So what say you? Want to know about Kyle Harrison’s new slider? Why San Jose is playing on a Monday? What to watch out for in the soon-to-start rookie leagues? Draft questions? Or any off the wall notion bouncing around your brain? Ask here, and I’ll do what I can to answer.

One of the consequences of pitch limits for the starters is that more pitches have to be thrown by others (Duh!). The farm has tried to get around that to an extent by having tandem/piggyback starters but at the same time it seems like there are a lot of innings being thrown by bullpen guys who just aren't as strong, leading to some ugly innings. Am I imagining this? If this is not just in my head and leads to some Ls that might otherwise have been Ws, is that just accepted as a necessary by-product of Farhan's strategy of building guys up/avoiding injury? Are we seeing the composition of the affiliates start to change in terms of the number of 'starters' being carried?
Hey there Rog!!! You are crushing it as usual my friend, (loved hearing you on KNBR and threw some “cool dad” swagger around as I turned up the V knob and said to a truck full of little leaguers, ‘yep, that’s my guy.’
I would like to know what’s going on with our international signings from the last two years? Any risers/fallers/surprises? How long does it generally take for internationals before they know the way to San Jose?
