Loewen was high school, Matusz is college. We should be looking at this like Loewen shouldn't have been given a MLB deal because of his age, not Matusz shouldn't be given an MLB deal because of <i>Loewen</i>. The two pitchers are completely irrelevant to one another in terms of experience, ceiling and other intangibles. I never thought about that, but you are very right Andy.

The same reason why I would've been okay with giving wieters a big league deal. Are we really thinking these guys might need 3 years playing at Bowie and Norfolk before they're ready? I doubt it. Everyone mentions Loewen - but Loewen was (basically) a high school pitcher who would need at least 3 years (obviously) but Matusz is a college senior - he'll probably be up by 2010 either way. So what's the difference? I’m okay with giving matusz a big league deal. The same reason why I would’ve been okay with giving wieters a big league deal.

Everyone and Adam Loewen's Mother agree that giving him a big league deal isn't a good idea... but as the deadline approaches do we still feel the same?...I'm hovering near the edge myself... *** glad to see Markakis extension talks are already happening, even if the progress isn't tangible yet. If The Stick was upset all year (alledgedly yet understandably) I'm glad to see him taking out his frustration with his bat, rather than his mouth. *** I love Guthrie and will buy a shirt the day it is available. It's a horrible sin against Joseph Smith that it is not. Guts is My Favorite Mormon, hands down, with regrets to Danny Ainge. BTW, recently watched a cheesy Jordan "documentary" which was basically a montague of him scoring on Danny Ainge, swear to god Danny getting lit up in a Celtics, Kings, Suns, and even Trail Blazers uniform.

I had a really great Greek Chicken Caesar Salad there awhile ago that was tasty and filling for a reasonable price. I think I paid $10 total for it and a tall microbrew a couple years back. May want to check it out if you're going by and unsure of where to stop. AooR, if you’re taking Metro stop at Union Station at the Circle Cafe, a circular 2-story building within the train station.
