Poll: Should I ruin the #1 overall prospect ranking of Paul Galeana and call him up now?

sure why not I did that with Nick Coyle when he was no. 1 and looked how well he has been so far

plus Galeana won't get much better in AAA

[Slyder]

Look at how Degroat's faired...

[General]

The AL's best player of the month was Boston's John Sanor, who wins the award for the 1st time in his career. He had an on base percentage of .535 and hit .441, while driving in 42 runs. Sanor has hit for a .332 average this season. He has 67 extra base hits along with 298 total bases, resulting in a .565 slugging percentage. He's 9th in the AL in batting, 7th in homeruns and 1st in RBI!

The Player of the Week award in the AL goes to Boston's Scott Brown this time, as the shortstop displayed the best offensive perfomance in his league. Brown helped his team with an average of .542 and 2 RBI in 24 at bats. Scott is hitting .297 this year, with 143 hits in 481 at bats. He has driven in 77 runs, slugging .459.

SEATTLE - Boston's southpaw Oliver Perez is a great pitcher. And he once again showed his stuff, blanking Seattle on just 2 hits. It's his 2nd shutout this season, and the 7th time he has done it in his career. Brett Bonvechio spoiled the bid for a no-hitter when he singled with no outs in the 6th inning. Perez (12-12) fanned 5 and walked none, throwing 95 pitches. 'Giving my team a chance to win is the most important thing for me. I was able to do it today.' The hitting star for Boston was rightfielder Vince Sinisi, he finished 2 for 4, stroking a double, and collecting 2 RBI. Boston improved its record to 77-55, scoring 4 runs on 10 hits.

Ulyanov has the BA, OBP, OPS, RC, RC/27 outs wrapped up. He's 1st in walks (by 1), hits (by 3) and runs (by 1). Valencia has been ace the past 3 months. BenSchoten'll have his wins, GS, and innings titles. Went 7-3, gained 2 games on the East and 1 on the WC. Yanks-Boston-Baltimore are 2-3-4 in the power rankings.

Thursday 8/21/2013: Toronto's McGowan out for 5 weeks
TORONTO - Toronto's pitcher Dustin McGowan was part of a scary incident that saw the right-hander being hit by a line drive in the 1st inning of the game between Toronto and Seattle. Team trainers immediately rushed onto the field after the frightening scene. McGowan will miss about 5 weeks. After being taken to a local hospital, McGowan was examined by specialists. The diagnosis revealed the sad truth, a Fractured Hand. This season McGowan compiled an ERA of 2.54, going 15-7 in 29 starts. He fanned 165 while giving up 191 hits in 208.2 innings. He has 4 complete games and one shutout. He's 3rd in the AL in ERA and 2nd in wins!
