Talk:Julio Mañón

He pitched 56 games and saved 32 for Bowie in 2008. A 34/35 year old pitcher at AA wouldn't be odd in the 50's, but in 2008?? With the emphasis on development nowadays, that's very odd. --Jeff 23:57, 23 March 2009 (EDT)

Teams often use veteran roster filler at AA and AAA. - --Mischa 10:22, 24 March 2009 (EDT)

At AAA sure, they keep veterans around for injury coningency. But AA is still very development oriented. --Jeff 00:32, 25 March 2009 (EDT)

That's the claim they like to put forward. When I went to a AA game two years ago, Altoona included 29-year-old Simon Pond, 27-year-old Brett Roneberg, 27-year-old David Parrish and 30-year-old Brandon Knight, all well past their prospect days. - --Mischa 09:12, 25 March 2009 (EDT)
