And because of the Gints being filled in at most positions, that is how its going to be. Gone are the days of Bowker, Frandsen, Freddy Lew and Ishi, where you have a take your lumps pick of an old vet or a young AAAA non-top prospect to choose from. <br /><br />I'm very happy for young Nick. He got his shot and ran with it. Now the real test comes.Shankbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803824507120403397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23735245.post-80967652287389955542013-03-30T10:58:32.579-07:002013-03-30T10:58:32.579-07:00That is not settling for me, you know how well I t...That is not settling for me, you know how well I think of Noonan, and I think this might even help accelerate his development as he gets better training, treatment, and so forth, in the majors, now that I think of it. <br /><br />And given Panda's apparent "handle with care" label and Scutaro's advanced age, even with Arias around, I think that Noonan, being a lefty, will get a lot of chances to show off what he can do, 2013 will be a year of adjustment for him getting used to the major league life, but 2014-15 will be the year that he has a break out that will help him in battling Panik for a starting spot in the middle infield.<br /><br />Always good to have prospects forcing the issue, managers love that type of problem, instead of worrying about who the heck he wants to put in there. obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23735245.post-9908245084389559122013-03-30T08:48:18.929-07:002013-03-30T08:48:18.929-07:00Well, will you settle for Nick Noonan making the 2...Well, will you settle for Nick Noonan making the 25 as your good news?
