Minor League Ball Gameday, Thursday, March 26

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to the Minor League Ball Daily Gameday thread. Thanks for everyone who participated in the All Questions Answered session earlier today.

Some items for discussion:

***Chris Cotillo reports that the Baltimore Orioles have opened contract extension talks with right-hander Chris Tillman. Similar negotiations are reportedly underway between the Cleveland Indians and right-hander Corey Kluber according to Scott Gelman. How many years would you extend those two?

***In hot Rule 5 action, the San Diego Padres claimed right-hander Jandel Gustave from the Kansas City Royals on waiver. Gustave was originally in the Houston Astros system and was selected under Rule 5 by the Royals last December. He has a 100 MPH fastball but the 22-year-old Dominican has a career 5.73 ERA and comes by it honestly with 146 walks in 196 career innings, none above Low-A. He has 199 strikeouts too but 100 MPH is no good if you can't find the plate.

***John Buck has retired. Seems like a good candidate for a Prospect Retrospective. Heath Bell retired, too. Another candidate? Any interest in those?

***Scott Lindholm asks, "would you trade Kris Bryant for Matt Harvey?" For anyone?
