Yeah, the "not ready" thing is just so dumb...

Just be honest. If you are worried about roster cutdowns and the 40-man - which is going to be interesting, there's a great breakdown of this at Pine Tar Press - and don't see value in him getting 75 at-bats this season, just say so.

But stop pretending you don't think he's ready. That's about as believable as Dayton Moore's assertion that Jeff Franceour had 4-year offers on the table. That's so NOT grounded in reality, you wonder if Todd Akin originally said it.
