If a Player is optionally assigned for a total of less than 20 days in one championship season, such optional assignment(s) shall not count as an optional assignment in connection with the limitation upon optional assignments provided for in Major League Rule 11(c). (See Article XXI(B).)

And, can't stand those perennially over-rated, self-righteous jerks. A movie about a walk on who makes the team. Rudy. Whooptee Damn Doo!! Every major college in the country has the same story. Live in the 30's and 40's when college football was dominated by white boys who's parents could afford to send them to college. Good grief. That said. Let's go Kyle!! I have no hate for ND baseball:)

Im no Terry Francona but why not Millwood in this situation and let Weiland get a couple more great starts in Pawtucket?

Yes I am being picky, however the guy has pitched great at AAA and is only three years removed from being a closer at the college level.J.J. Cooper: Sorry he wasn't close to the top 50. Like him as a prospect, but he's not considered in that group, more fighting to make the Top 100. I asked that question.

Manny Banuelos moves up the list , hasn't improved his control is getting hit more, and is striking out less people.
