Wow. I'll do a more in-depth write-up on this when I get a chance, but I'm excited. There's no doubt in my mind that he's be able to succeed on the major league level at this moment.

Also, farewell Travis Ishikawa. He's still a useful player, and there's a chance he comes back; if a team claims him on waivers and he doesn't return...well, he'll always be remembered for that fantastic walk he worked against the Braves in the NLDS.

More to come later...
