Bannister Throws 7 innings of Shut out ball

Bannister involved in a pitchers' duel with Felipe Paulino...unfortunately, RR favorite Carlos Rosa is unable to hold on to the win.

Nice to see Lubanski tearing up the early PCL season as well..

My thoughts on that game

(of which, I’ve only seen the box score)

1. Bannister >>> HoRam

3. Lubanski is fool’s gold.

Lubanski

He was considered a fairly elite prospect at one time wasn’t he? Was that legit or was he inflated by being the proverbial “shiniest turd” in the Royals awful minor league system?

He was a first round draft pick and he was one of the best prospects in a horrible Royals minor league system at one point. But I don’t think he was ever an elite prospect MLB-wide.
