<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span>As you can see, even with the most recent outing, his numbers at AAA aren’t exactly awe inspiring. The key numbers are ERA: 4.93, WHIP: 1.47 and that atrocious BB/9 ratio of 4.41. And his minor league totals indicate that his AAA performance isn’t an anomaly. Over 373 innings he’s given strong reason to be concerned about the control because it’s been a problem for his entire minor league career. But the 9.89 SO/9 is pretty damned impressive and suggests that this guy has closer potential.</span></div>

<div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">Hey Jeff,</div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">What do you have to say about Yordano Ventura? I totally forgot he was on my roster. I'd grade him a solid, not-too-shabby. $5 too. But I trust your reporting more than anything else.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">Here are some recent snippets about him.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">07.08... Royals prospect Yordano Ventura allowed two runs on seven hits but fanned nine Sunday at Triple-A Omaha.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">Spin: The 22-year-old righty now has 36 strikeouts in 34 2/3 innings since receiving a promotion to Triple-A in early June, though he has also allowed 17 walks during that span. His start on Sunday was encouraging because Ventura did not issue a free pass. The young flame-thrower should be a factor at the major league level in some capacity by the end of this season.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">06.03... The Royals have promoted Yordano Ventura to Triple-A Omaha.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">Spin: Ventura dominated at the Double-A level, where he posted a 2.34 ERA and 11.5 K/9 over 11 starts. The 21-year-old top prospect continues to move quickly through the Royals' minor league system and could be an option for the starting rotation at some point later this season.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">05.23... Royals prospect Yordano Ventura allowed seven runs (six earned runs) on nine hits over 4 1/3 innings in his start Wednesday with Double-A Northwest Arkansas.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">Spin: Ventura hadn't allowed more than two earned runs in any of his previous eight starts, so it's the first time he's struggled this season. The 21-year-old top prospect has a 2.82 ERA with a 1.12 WHIP and 12.1 K/9 over 45 innings at the Double-A level. Prior to Wednesday's outing, he had a a pair of 10-strikeout games and 32 total strikeouts in his last four starts.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span>Unbiased? Of course. I merely report the facts. For example, it’s demonstrably true that the Carolina League is extremely favorable for pitchers, so that when a highly touted bean in the Carolina League, like Zimmer, isn’t able to keep his ERA below 5, it usually spells trouble. And reporting information of that sort is the epitome of unbiased reporting.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span>Always accurate? I’d have to go with “usually” accurate. My sources have been wrong every now and then. For example, some of them actually thought that Zunino would produce in the majors. As Rotowire admitted just a few days ago: </span><span>he should be a quality fantasy catcher in time, but right now, he's a fringe No. 2 catcher in mixed leagues. </span><span>So, they clearly aren’t “always” accurate.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span>Neutral? That would suggest that my choices are entirely random. And that is most certainly not the case. I tend to focus on the players that I’m most concerned will lead an unsuspecting owner to disappointment. Hence, my most recent focus on the Red Hots’ roster.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">I learned a long time ago that if I bash another team's player that player will perform really well and if I tout my own player, that player will tank. Of course, Jeff never needs to worry about that because he provides his unbiased, neutral and always accurate assessments, for which I know I am eternally grateful. Thank you for providing this valuable service Jeff. I owe you one.</div>
