Henry Rodriguez to start in Sacramento?

by deadboy on Mar 15, 2008 6:38 PM EDT

A's Director of Player personnel said this:

"Rodriquez likely will open the year at Midland, but Lieppman said, "Winter ball developed him quicker than we thought. The jury's still out on him. I could see him ending up in Sacramento.""

What do you guys think? I personally believe that Triple-A would be way too high for him but AA maybe.

i think

by "ending up in" sacramento he means by the end of the season, not right now.

midland's AA, isn't it. i was thinking it was A-ball for some reason. i guess he is saying maybe AAA to start.

De los Santos also in AA

so both will likely skip high A stockton

Simmons
Hrod
DLS

all 21 yrs old will be in the AA rotation

So much for Stockton having Best Rotation in Minor

It is too bad as I could have seen a bunch of the guys early at San Jose. By 2nd half they may say Midland is the best w/ DLS, HRod, Anderson and Bailey.

Oh Henry!

I think his performance really tapered off there towards the end, but if the A's think he has something left? Well, he's only 40....

Oh! That one? He's a pretty good prospect I suppose, and I definitely think of him as a breakout candidate.

I hear the Giants

might be interested in the original O-Henry. He would bring veteran leadership to the team, which we all know Sabean and McGowan just can't get enough of.

classy move Belichek...Quitter
