Is it me or has our minor league system been less than impressive so far this year? I does not seem that neither Danks, Flowers and Hudson are setting the world on fire.
Flowers is doing everything asked of him. Danks is fine except for the strikeouts. Hudson is lagging a little. None are disappointing yet.
