Although I'm sure you used google, it is ok to admit it very few know about Feller since he is so underrated
nah, I'm not kidding when it comes to knowing my baseball and rock and roll trivia, among other things, I'm a walking encyclopedia of useless knowledge on several subjects

Name a pitcher that was promoted the same year he was drafted then
Joey Devine, Atlanta Braves relief pitcher, 2005. Gave up a grand slam in each of his first two MLB appearances and the walkoff home run to Chris Burke to end the NLDS in the 18th inning against the Astros. I'll never forgive him.
That said, even if you think he's good enough it's dumb to rush a top prospect to the majors if you're out of the playoff hunt. No reason to start his arbitration clock early.

yep, all I said was that it wouldn't surprise/shock me in this day and age, doesn't take much to rattle the rantards cages

Well Leake was drafted in 2009 and made his MLB debut in 2010 although Devine would qualify

In this day and age it's actually more common to delay a guy's progression to the majors specifically because of the arbitration clock.

Only a matter of time before Nola joins #TeamTatSleeve in the majors.

I was going to post that but I figured I'd wait until you showed up

I was at that NLDS game. It was glorious.

Chris Sale and Paco Rodriguez are two of the 11 players from the last 11 Drafts to make their Major League debuts in the same year in which they were selected. The others are: Ryan Wagner, Chad Cordero and Rickie Weeks (2003); Joey Devine, Ryan Zimmerman and Craig Hansen (2005); Andrew Miller (2006); Ross Detwiler (2007); and Conor Gillaspie (2008). In the previous 11 Drafts from 1992-2002, only five picks advanced to the big leagues that quickly: Brian Anderson and Jeff Granger (both 1993); Ariel Prieto (1995), J.D. Drew (1998) and Xavier Nady (2000).

Didn't know all those guys pitched.
Posted on 8/3/14 at 8:57 am to Glock17
They play at Trenton for 3 days at the end of teh month.

The Phily Sports Radio guys were talking about this yesterday, said they hope he's up some time next year and that they think he'll be a great one
Posted on 8/3/14 at 9:30 am to ell_13
They obviously all don't, I was just quoting the article. 8 of the last 11 pitched.

Especially with all the Phillies ongoing dead weight big money contracts. Ryan Howard hitting .218 and platooning, still owed $60M after this year and I thought Frank Wren sucked arse. Oh, he still does.
Thought Kris Bryant would be brought up by the Cubs when Olt at 3B was hitting .145, but not with contract acceleration and Boras as his agent.

Saying it wouldn't surprise me is not the same as stating that it will happen. People get defensive too easy lately
