    That sucks about Alonso, talk about having something to cheer about this season. Peter was just settling into the Brooklyn lineup.

    Definitely sucks. I still think he has shown enough to start season at high A next year. Maybe if he heels quickly he gets some ABs in AFL

    Dunn has a live arm. I saw him once in the College World Series. He was not real good that game, but coaches run their pitchers down in the College World Series. And of course, metal bats are a whole different story. He might be breaking wooden bats with his stuff.You know. He throws hard, is athletic. I thought the fastball looked a bit straight, and his location was just okay. The arm talent is definitely there. He sounds like a smart guy, too. A lot of pitchers are big dummies.
