No, I don't, sorry. Might check the Royals website, I know they have videos and stuff up there, maybe there's something from him.

um,
A) When did Louis Coleman get called up?
B) How did he do? He got a save?
C) Is he a designated closer?

A) About three weeks ago.
B) He's looked okay when I've seen him pitch.
C) Not unless the Royals traded Joakim Soria and I missed it.

He came in during the Yankees game after Soria blew the save and the Royals regained the lead the next inning.

He's looked pretty solid so far.

I have no idea how I missed him getting called up...but I will definitely be following him.

Bob Dutton reporting that Danny Duffy will be called up tomorrow to start the Texas series. I do wish he had a few more starts at AAA, but it'll be fun to see another young guy anyways.

I'm fine with bringing up some of the prospects, but I hope they're careful with the pitchers. Get them some experience, but don't run them into the ground.

With position players, it's the opposite: if you bring them up, they better be playing every day like Hosmer is. Don't bring a dude up to just to ride the bench. They should probably send Dyson down so he can play every day and get some more at bats.

I'd normally be fine with it too, my issue is that Duffy has less than 100 IP since 2009, and only 14 starts above A ball. I'd much prefer he spent some more time down at AAA, but I guess it doesn't matter much at this point.
